___ stands for computer-generated image or imagery. These are the images entirely generated using computers.

Stands for user interface. This means everything that you can see on the screen and the various controls offered by the software.

It’s a visual way to scale, move or rotate the 3D objects.

It’s kind of a scene management tool where you get the overview of the 3D scene that is drafted. In software such as Maya and Blender, it is called an ____. It gives you an overview of 3D scenes that include all lights, objects, empties/locators etc.

It’s a line that connects the vertices in a 3D model. The shape and topology of the 3D model are defined by ____. You need to have 3 or more ___ to create a ____.

By connecting three or more edges, a ____ is formed. You need to construct a ___ in order to get a 3D model.

The combined layout of edges, vertices and faces refers to ____. It tells us how the 3D model will look once it is rendered. It also tells the behavioural pattern of the 3D model when animated.

It’s a process of reducing the polygon count in a 3D model and ensuring that no change happens to its shape and other details.

It’s a process of scanning various photographs which are taken at various angles to create a 3D model.

___ 3D models are generally used in gaming engines. Here you need a ____ topology that scores high on optimization. ___ contains a high polygon count which is then baked into smaller maps and added to ____ to make it more detailed.

These help you create complex polygons. For example, you may use ___ to create a hole in a model. This can be done by subtracting a cylinder from the model.

Is a sculpting software that is majorly used to sculpt 3D game models such as environments, characters etc.

As the name suggests, ___ means a lack of textures in computer-generated videos. Here the video is just in black and white colours.

This means any changes that can occur during the course of the animation. The best example would be the zoom-in and zoom-out effect.

This 3D animation technology means creating a series of sketches that are arranged in a way to showcase the series of the animation. It is generally referred to as a ____-ding process.

It is also known as FPS or frame per rate which means the number of images or shots that appear on screen in one second. The more the FPS, the more the quality of the animation. This is in 3d dictionary rendering terms.

Is a final output obtained after the ___-ing process where a final image is created from 3D scene with the help of a ___ engine.

It’s just a single image amongst a sequence of images in an animation.

It’s a stage before animation that creates a skeleton for a 3D model. This allows to move the characters within the animation.

Is a rigging method where every joint determines the next position such as a movement in the shoulder will affect the movement of the elbow and hand.

___ are the individual parts of the 3D skeleton that are designed to control the movement of the 3D model.

A 3D ____ means creating a 3D project from ideation to the final product. All the stages such as concept design, modeling, texturing, rendering and post-production etc are included in this.

Supports file compression and this file format is heavily used for web images.
