  1. Ray tracing

  2. Scanline rendering

  3. Phong shading

  4. Z-buffering


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ray tracing is a rendering technique that simulates the path of light rays through a 3D scene to create realistic images.

What is the primary purpose of a render engine in architectural visualization?

  1. Creating 3D models

  2. Applying textures and materials

  3. Generating lighting effects

  4. Simulating physical properties


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A render engine's main purpose is to calculate and display the lighting effects in a 3D scene.

Which software is widely used for architectural visualization and known for its advanced rendering capabilities?

  1. AutoCAD

  2. Revit

  3. SketchUp

  4. 3ds Max


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

3ds Max is a popular software in architectural visualization due to its powerful rendering engine and extensive toolset for creating realistic 3D models and scenes.

What is the term used to describe the process of adding textures, materials, and other surface properties to a 3D model?

  1. Texturing

  2. Shading

  3. Lighting

  4. Modeling


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Texturing involves applying textures to the surfaces of a 3D model to enhance its visual realism.

Which rendering technique is commonly used for creating stylized or non-photorealistic images?

  1. Ray tracing

  2. Toon shading

  3. Global illumination

  4. Ambient occlusion


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Toon shading is a rendering technique that produces cartoon-like or comic-book-style images with bold lines and flat colors.

What is the term used to describe the process of calculating the amount of light that reaches a surface in a 3D scene?

  1. Shading

  2. Lighting

  3. Rendering

  4. Texturing


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Lighting involves calculating the distribution and intensity of light in a 3D scene to create realistic shadows and highlights.

Which rendering technique is known for its ability to simulate the scattering of light and create soft shadows?

  1. Ray tracing

  2. Scanline rendering

  3. Global illumination

  4. Phong shading


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Global illumination is a rendering technique that simulates the interaction of light with surfaces and objects in a scene, resulting in more realistic lighting effects.

What is the term used to describe the process of creating a 3D model from 2D drawings or sketches?

  1. Modeling

  2. Texturing

  3. Lighting

  4. Rendering


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Modeling involves creating a 3D representation of an object or scene using various techniques such as polygonal modeling, NURBS modeling, or sculpting.

Which rendering technique is known for its speed and efficiency, making it suitable for real-time applications?

  1. Ray tracing

  2. Scanline rendering

  3. Phong shading

  4. Z-buffering


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Z-buffering is a rendering technique that determines which objects are visible and which are hidden based on their depth in the scene, resulting in faster rendering times.

What is the term used to describe the process of adding realistic details and imperfections to a 3D model to make it appear more natural?

  1. Texturing

  2. Shading

  3. Lighting

  4. Detailing


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Detailing involves adding small details and imperfections to a 3D model, such as scratches, dents, or wear and tear, to enhance its realism.

Which rendering technique is known for its ability to simulate the behavior of light as it interacts with various materials?

  1. Ray tracing

  2. Scanline rendering

  3. Phong shading

  4. Ambient occlusion


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ray tracing is a rendering technique that simulates the path of light rays through a scene, taking into account the materials and surfaces they encounter, resulting in highly realistic images.

What is the term used to describe the process of creating a 3D model by manipulating points, edges, and faces?

  1. Modeling

  2. Texturing

  3. Lighting

  4. Rendering


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Modeling involves creating a 3D representation of an object or scene by manipulating points, edges, and faces using various modeling techniques.

Which rendering technique is known for its ability to create realistic shadows and soft edges?

  1. Ray tracing

  2. Scanline rendering

  3. Phong shading

  4. Ambient occlusion


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ray tracing is a rendering technique that simulates the path of light rays through a scene, resulting in realistic shadows and soft edges.

What is the term used to describe the process of applying colors and patterns to the surfaces of a 3D model?

  1. Texturing

  2. Shading

  3. Lighting

  4. Rendering


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Texturing involves applying colors, patterns, and other surface properties to a 3D model to enhance its visual realism.
