D) MMOG

Accepted Answer

"MMOG" stands for "Massively Multiplayer Online Game," which accurately describes the type of game mentioned in the statement. The other options have either misspelled acronyms or incorrect letters.

Question 8

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 specialized computers that host and manage the world and gameplay of MMOGs. Game clients, on the other hand, are the software applications through which players access the game. Game hosts and game servlets are not commonly used terms in the context of MMOGs.

Question 9

____ is a rapidly growing area of computer and biological science research in which computers and graphics software are used to produce highly accurate two- and three-dimensional images of the human body.
A) Medical processing
B) Medical imaging
C) Virtual medicine
D) Visual medicine

Accepted Answer

Medical Imaging is the field which involves the production of accurate two- and three-dimensional images of the human body, by using high-quality graphics software and computers.

Question 10

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 term commonly used in computer graphics for the sequence of operations required to produce a 3D image sequence is the graphics pipeline or rendering pipeline. The graphics pipeline, or rendering pipeline, is a series of stages that takes 3D models and converts them into 2D images that can be displayed on a screen. These stages include geometry processing, rasterization, texturing, and pixel shading, among others.

Question 11

The most widely used and well-known metaverse is ____, a virtual world created by Linden Labs in 2003.
A) World of Warcraft
B) Voodoo Chat
C) Worlds
D) Second Life

Accepted Answer

Second Life is the best choice as it is the most widely used and well-known metaverse, created by Linden Labs in 2003. The other options are either not as well-known or not considered metaverses.

Question 12

Using a CGI technique called ____, a human animator only needs to produce the first frame, containing the starting location of the object; the last frame, containing the final location of the object; and the elapsed time.
A) blocking
B) stop-framing
C) keyframing
D) mid-framing

Accepted Answer

This technique is called keyframing. It involves specifying key points or poses for an object or character and letting the software generate the animation in between those key points.

Question 13

____ 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 14

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

Accepted Answer

A noncompetitive MMOG is sometimes referred to as a metaverse, which is a virtual world shared by a large number of players who can interact with each other and the world. The term "metaverse" was popularized by the dystopian sci-fi novel Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. The other answer choices are not typically used to refer to noncompetitive MMOGs.
