Q1. What is Animating?
Ans
When you have developed main wireframe design the some animations can be developed. Maya has some built in tools to develop animations for 3D designs easy. The controls of animation have timeline and range slider that is used to choose specific parts of video. The playback controls makes very easy to evaluate animations. Objects are animated in several ways. An object can be moved to some specific path using Motion paths. The lines are curved and straight. The animation tool of flow path is highly complex and skilled of many advanced animations.
Q2. Please explain about Maya interface?
Ans
The user interface is nothing but how you can control Maya. Initially, it will be like an application for image editing. But, it is more complex and there are multiple features that cannot be seen in various apps. Initially, you might be beset by user interface of Maya but later you will get used to that software. Drop down box in status bar is adjusted to change menu bar. It will be same as some other application for windows. Selection of tools can be done using the tool box that you are interested in developing 3D models. Also, it is possible to develop multiple layers similar to Photoshop.
Q3. Tell me all Manipulator handles?
Ans
While Using Move Tool, Which "set Keys On" Option Should Be Selected In Order To Set The Keys On Translate X,y & Z Attributes Only?
Q4. Explain me grips with 3D?
Ans
It is very much complicated to develop 3D model when compared to flat image because grips are required with models of wireframe. One must develop a wireframe that is filled with textual surfaces and color while developing 3D models. It will be difficult when you are using Maya for the first time or beginner for 3D design. You get grips by visualizing wireframes in your heard so that it is possible to see everything will appear as needing to render.
Q5. Tell me what is rendering?
Ans
If you have developed your design framework, you can employ multiple textures and colors. One can be able to see the end project by rendering some colors. It takes much time to complete rendering and a super fast computer is needed. If you do not have good system configuration then it will be very difficult to do this task. You must struggle to complete this comfortably on the computers with low configuration. Rendering individual view is not much complicated but rendering scenes that are animated with 25 frames per second is difficult on your PC.
Q6. What is Maya?
Ans
Maya software is tremendously impressive 3 D design software which can be used by everyone who is interested in developing 3D prototypes of games. Maya is highly powerful and helpful for all the 3D design requirements. One must master interface and spend time to learn perfectly how to use application to get benefit out of it. If you master Maya software then it will be very easy to develop specialized 3D animations. But, it is mandatory to understand and practice perfectly and you must know the exact usage of tools
