What is the primary reason for choosing Autodesk 3ds Max 2024 over earlier versions?
Course materials have been tested using the 2024 version
Match the following 3-D animation techniques with their descriptions:
Rough animation = Blocking broad motions using placeholder geometry Secondary actions and facial animation = Added after rough animation Details and timing of overlapping motion = Fine-tuned after secondary actions Effects animation = Animation of natural phenomena like rain, wind, and fire
Match the following Autodesk products with their primary usage:
3ds Max = 3-D character animation and technical animation Maya = 3-D character animation and visual development Blender = 3-D character animation and texture painting Autodesk Education Plan = Access to educational licenses for Autodesk products
Match the following postproduction techniques with their descriptions:
Digital compositing = Mixing computer-generated images or live action Distorting and retouching = Applying postprocessing techniques to computer-generated images Processing and color correction = Applying techniques before recording the images Videotape or film recording = Final step after applying postproduction techniques
Match the following texture painting methods with their descriptions:
Painted by hand with a digital paint system = Directly painting textures for the geometry Painted with traditional materials and scanned = Texture painting method using traditional materials Geometry image map = Type of map used for texture painting Bump map = Type of map used for texture painting
Match the following system requirements with their purpose:
System requirements for Autodesk 3ds Max 2024 = Information on hardware and software needed to run the software Autodesk Education Plan verification = Process for confirming eligibility for educational licenses My Profile modification = Procedure for adjusting personal information for verification Downloading Autodesk 3ds Max 2024 = Accessing the specific version required for course materials
3-D character animation starts with rough animation, then secondary actions, and finally the details and timing of overlapping motion.
True
Effects animation in 3-D computer animation primarily involves the animation of artificial phenomena, like rain, wind, and fire.
False
Texture painting in 3-D computer animation projects is usually done solely by painters and not shared with the visual development team.
False
Postproduction techniques can be applied to computer-generated images, but they cannot be mixed with live action.
False
Autodesk 3ds Max 2024 is the recommended version for compatibility with the course materials.
True
