What is the function of “bump mapping” in 3D animation?

Simulates small surface details without changing geometry

What is motion capture?

Live-action movements are recorded for animating digital characters

What is the difference between forward kinematics (FK) and inverse kinematics (IK) in animation?

FK moves joints from parent, IK controls child joints

What is rigging in 3D animation?

Creating a skeleton for characters to animate

In 3D rendering, what is Global Illumination (GI)?

A way to simulate realistic lighting by accounting for indirect light

What is the “keyframe” in animation?

A frame that defines the start or end point of a smooth transition

Process of creating the illusion of motion by displaying a series of images

What is a “UV map” in 3D animation?

A layout to wrap textures on a 3D model

3
What is the function of “bump mapping” in 3D animation?
To animate character movement
To control camera angles during action sequences
Simulates small surface details without changing geometry
To add geometric details to the surface of a 3D model
4
What is motion capture?
Capturing a still image
Live-action movements are recorded for animating digital characters
A way to capture 2D drawings
A type of video game
5
What is the difference between forward kinematics (FK) and inverse kinematics (IK) in animation?
FK is used in 2D animation, while IK is used in 3D animation
FK and IK are the same, just named differently in different software
FK deals with texture mapping, IK focuses on rigging
FK moves joints from parent, IK controls child joints
