From: CHAPTER 10– Lighting 3DS MAX AND ITS APPLICATIONS 1. What is a light in 3ds max? Lights are objects that illuminate a scene.
From: CHAPTER 10– Lighting 3DS MAX AND ITS APPLICATIONS 2. What are the four types of lights in 3ds max? Omni lights Spotlights, Direct (or direction or directional) lights Ambient light
From: CHAPTER 10– Lighting 3DS MAX AND ITS APPLICATIONS 3. What type of light has rays that project in all directions? Omni light
From: CHAPTER 10– Lighting 3DS MAX AND ITS APPLICATIONS 4. What is meant by falloff (attenuation)? Falloff, or attenuation, describes the property of a light’s intensity decreasing over distance.
From: CHAPTER 10– Lighting 3DS MAX AND ITS APPLICATIONS 5. Into what type of light can default light be turned? Omni light
From: CHAPTER 10– Lighting 3DS MAX AND ITS APPLICATIONS 6. Which radio button must be on in order to turn default lighting into light objects? 2 Lights
From: CHAPTER 10– Lighting 3DS MAX AND ITS APPLICATIONS 7. What type of light has rays that project in one direction but are not parallel ? spotlight
From: CHAPTER 10– Lighting 3DS MAX AND ITS APPLICATIONS 8. What is the difference between a “target” light and a “free” light? A target light has a target that must be placed in addition to the light itself. The target light is aimed by moving the target. A free light has no target. The free light is aimed by transforming the light itself.
From: CHAPTER 10– Lighting 3DS MAX AND ITS APPLICATIONS 9. What type of light has rays that project in one direction and are parallel? direct light
From: CHAPTER 10– Lighting 3DS MAX AND ITS APPLICATIONS 10. Which lights can be either “free” or “target” lights? spotlights, direct lights
From: CHAPTER 10– Lighting 3DS MAX AND ITS APPLICATIONS 11. Which light is commonly used to simulate sunlight or extremely distant light sources? direct light
From: CHAPTER 10– Lighting 3DS MAX AND ITS APPLICATIONS 12. Which rollout is used to set the color of the light and its intensity? Intensity/Color/Attenuation
From: CHAPTER 10– Lighting 3DS MAX AND ITS APPLICATIONS 13. What is exposure control used to do? correct for color and lighting problems in the rendered scene
From: CHAPTER 10– Lighting 3DS MAX AND ITS APPLICATIONS 14. What type of light is like outdoor light just before sunrise? Ambient light
From: CHAPTER 10– Lighting 3DS MAX AND ITS APPLICATIONS 15. What are the three lights used in triangle lighting? key light, fill light, backlight
From: CHAPTER 10– Lighting 3DS MAX AND ITS APPLICATIONS 16. Which light in triangle lighting produces the primary illumination for the scene? key
From: CHAPTER 10– Lighting 3DS MAX AND ITS APPLICATIONS 17. Which light in triangle lighting is used to eliminate unwanted shadows in the scene? spotlights, direct lights
From: CHAPTER 10– Lighting 3DS MAX AND ITS APPLICATIONS 18. Which light in triangle lighting adds a sense of depth to the scene? spotlights, direct lights
From: CHAPTER 10– Lighting 3DS MAX AND ITS APPLICATIONS 19. What is mood lighting used for? Mood lighting is used to alter the mood of a scene by simulating the effects of a nighttime or daylight setting, or an overhead lighting fixture.
From: CHAPTER 10– Lighting 3DS MAX AND ITS APPLICATIONS 20. What are the four basic types of mood lighting used in traditional cinematography? high key, low key, frontal, side
