Answers to the Joystick Tutorial quiz
- (d)
Four CVs. You created a default degree 3 curve, which requires a
minimum of 4 CVs before it is created. To learn more about CVs and
curve degree, see Mathematical representations of curves.
- c)
Two or more curves can be used to build a skin surface. If only
two curves are used, a ruled, straight, surface is created between
them. If more curves are used, use the shift key to select the third
and subsequent curves. The surface is blended smoothly through all
the curves.
- c)
The Pick > Hull tool. A whole
row of CVs can also be selected using Pick > CV and
carefully dragging a pick box around the required CVs. The Pick
> Hull tool is often easier to use, and it is often
good practice to modify a whole row of CVs together, to have more
control over the final shape of a surface.
- e)
All of the options listed can be displayed using the Hardware
Shade tool. This tool has been significantly enhanced
in AliasStudio and can be used very effectively to present and visualize
your designs.
- d)
The Transform > Local > Center pivot tool.
This tool can be used with all objects, curves, surfaces, and groups
of CVs.
