• Extruding

• Deleting

• Flattening

• Rotating

In Maya, what does the "Smooth" command do to a polygonal object?

• It makes the object appear sharper

• It creates more polygon faces to make the object appear smoother

• It changes the color of the object

• It resizes the object

What is the function of the "Extrude" tool in 3D modeling?

• To rotate an object

• To create an edge loop

• To add depth to a surface by pulling faces outward

• To change the object's color

What is the purpose of "Edge Loops" in Maya?

• To reduce the number of polygons in a model

• To add additional detail along a specific edge for modeling

• To animate edges

• To change the color of edges

What is a texture in the context of 3D modeling?

• A 3D object used to add detail to a model

• A mathematical equation used for rendering

• A pattern, image, or settings applied to the surface of a 3D model to give it color, detail, and realism

• A tool used to sculpt objects in 3D

Which of the following texture maps is commonly used to simulate the surface detail of an object without adding additional geometry?

• Diffuse map

• Normal map

• Specular map
