None of the above

The amount of Rendering Layers to be calculated in an image

The amount of times the software will examine different areas of a pixel

The number of photons that get emitted into the scene.

None of the above

be visible in an IPR.

B create volumetric shadows through a light fog.

produces correct shadows from transparent colored surfaces

produces correct shadows from Cloud Render Type particles

Spot Lights.

Directional Lights.

Area Lights.

All Maya Lights

adjusts the size of the square grid of pixels that's placed in front of the light for the first pass Raytrace

Shadow calculation

is the attribute that controls the focal point used in depth of field calculation

controls the shadow anti-aliasing level used for the Raytrace Shadow calculation

is the attribute that automatically controls where the Dmap will be focused.

If the object is just transforming and not deforming, parent the 3D Placement node to the animated object

If the object is deforming, you can use a Texture Reference object or convert the file to a 2D texture

If the object is deforming, you can bake the deformation by using Edit > Keys > Bake Simulation

Special effects attributes such as 'Barn Doors' for the rendering camera

Clipping planes are essentially the boundaries of the camera determining which objects will be rendered and which won't be rendered.

They define the point at which the shutter closes within the frame interval.

They determine the Depth of Field focal point.

use Springs to control the simulation if it gets erratic

use a Pin Constraint to 'pin down' the particles that act erratically during the simulation

use an nDynamics solver to control the simulation

use rigid bodies and converts them to soft bodies.

Has a default value of 0.5.

Controls the color of shiny highlights on the surface.

Controls the spread of the specular highlight.
