Game Art Game Art MCQ 3

Question 1

What is a trim sheet in game art production?

Accepted Answer

A single tiling texture atlas containing repeating architectural detail strips

Answer

A trim sheet is a modular texture containing rows of tileable detail (edges, panels, vents) that artists reuse across many meshes to share one texture atlas.

Question 2

Which rendering technique pre-computes lighting and stores it in a texture to save runtime cost?

Accepted Answer

Lightmapping

Answer

Lightmapping bakes static light and shadow data into UV-unwrapped textures, so runtime lighting for static geometry is nearly free.

Question 3

What is the purpose of a roughness map in PBR shading?

Accepted Answer

It controls how blurry or sharp specular reflections appear

Answer

The roughness map drives microsurface scattering: low values produce sharp mirror-like reflections, high values produce broad diffuse highlights.

Question 4

Which file format is commonly used for game-ready 3D asset exchange that supports meshes, rigs, and animations?

Accepted Answer

.FBX

Answer

FBX (Filmbox) is the industry-standard interchange format that carries geometry, skeleton, skin weights, and animation clips into game engines.

Question 5

What is the primary purpose of ambient occlusion (AO) in game art?

Accepted Answer

To darken crevices and contact areas where indirect light is occluded

Answer

AO approximates how much ambient light reaches a surface point, darkening corners and cavities to add perceived depth and grounding.
