Question 2

A noncompetitive MMOG is sometimes called a ____.
A)nanoverse
B)metaverse
C)miniverse
D)microverse

Accepted Answer

A noncompetitive MMOG (Massively Multiplayer Online Game) is often referred to as a metaverse, which is a collective virtual shared space, created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical reality and physically persistent virtual space, including the sum of all virtual worlds, augmented reality, and the internet.

Question 3

In stop-motion animation, a single photograph is called a ____.
A)frame
B)block
C)unit
D)cell

Accepted Answer

In stop-motion animation, each photograph taken to create the animation sequence is referred to as a "frame." These frames are played in sequence to produce the illusion of motion.

A)MMPRG
B)MMRPG
C)MMORG
D)MMOG

Accepted Answer

MMOG stands for Massively Multiplayer Online Game, which allows a large number of players to interact in a virtual world.

Question 5

Using a CGI technique called keyframing, a human animator only needs to produce only the _________ in a sequence, and the elapsed time.
A)central cells (CC)
B)wire-frame
C)first and last frame
D)Prolog algorithm

Accepted Answer

Keyframing in CGI involves an animator creating the first and last frames of a sequence, and the computer then generates the intermediate frames, creating the illusion of motion.

Question 6

The most widely used and well-known _______ is Second Life, a virtual world created by Linden Labs in 2003.
A)omniverse
B)metaverse
C)multiverse
D)virtualverse

Accepted Answer

Second Life is best described as a metaverse, which is a collective virtual shared space created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical reality, augmented reality (AR), and the internet. Linden Labs' Second Life is one of the earliest and most prominent examples of a metaverse.

Question 7

Users log on to the MMOG game server whenever they wish, using ____ software running on their home computer or laptop.
A)client
B)server
C)servlet
D)hosting

Accepted Answer

Users log on to the MMOG (Massively Multiplayer Online Game) game server using client software running on their home computer or laptop. This software communicates with the game's server to provide the user with the game experience.

Question 8

____ are fully modeled and fully rendered objects stored in a video library in video memory.
A)Cut-outs
B)Cut-ins
C)Block-ins
D)Block-outs

Accepted Answer

The answer of ____ are fully modeled and fully rendered...

Question 9

Typically, a(n)____ has its own dedicated random-access memory where it stores its image data and which is separate from primary memory.
A)CPU
B)PPU
C)GPU
D)MPU

Accepted Answer

A GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) typically has its own dedicated random-access memory (often referred to as VRAM - Video RAM) where it stores image data, separate from the primary system memory (RAM) used by the CPU and other components. This dedicated memory allows for faster and more efficient processing of graphics and visual data.

Question 10

____________________ algorithms follow millions (or billions)of light rays from their source to an object's surface and any subsequent reflections can produce truly lifelike images and take minutes or hours to render a single frame.

Accepted Answer

The answer of ____________________ algorithms follow millions (or billions)of light...

Question 11

King Kong's movements in the 1933 film were created using a manual technique called ____.
A)CGI
B)film overlay
C)skip-motion animation
D)stop-motion animation

Accepted Answer

King Kong's movements in the 1933 film were created using stop-motion animation, a technique where objects are physically manipulated in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence.

Question 12

____________________ means taking an object stored as a mathematical model and converting it into a fully formed, visually pleasing three-dimensional image.

Accepted Answer

The answer of ____________________ means taking an object stored as...

Question 13

In a(n)____________________, there are thousands or millions of users simultaneously accessing dozens or hundreds of game servers across multiple communication channels.

Accepted Answer

The answer of In a(n)____________________, there are thousands or millions...

Question 14

The sequence of operations that must be completed successfully to produce a realistic three-dimensional image sequence is termed the ____.
A)graphics streamline
B)graphics pipeline
C)graphics mode
D)graphics perspective

Accepted Answer

The correct term is "graphics pipeline." It refers to the sequence of steps or stages in computer graphics that are performed to render a 3D scene to a 2D screen. These steps include transformation, lighting, and rasterization, among others.

Question 15

In the technique known as ____, first it is determined which planes can be seen from the user's point of view, based on location and opaqueness, and then only those objects visible in the next frame are rendered, omitting all operations on hidden surfaces.
A)culling
B)clicking
C)slicing
D)striping

Accepted Answer

Culling is the process where only the objects visible from the user's viewpoint are rendered, and operations on hidden surfaces are omitted, making it the correct answer.

Question 16

The world in which the MMOG action takes place is created and managed by special computers called ____.
A)game hosts
B)game servers
C)game clients
D)game servlets

Accepted Answer

Game servers are special computers that create and manage the world in which the MMOG action takes place.

Question 17

In CGI, the abstract concept of motion is defined in terms of matrix ____________________, an algorithmic operation easily programmed on a computer.

Question 18

The branch of computer graphics that studies methods for creating images at a rate matching that of the real world is called ____.
A)just-in-time graphics
B)real-time graphics
C)new world graphics
D)real-world graphics

Accepted Answer

Real-time graphics is the branch of computer graphics focused on producing and analyzing images in real time, often for applications like video games, simulations, and interactive media, where the goal is to generate visuals as quickly as they are needed, matching the pace of user interaction or simulation progress.
