Discuss why you think the unit exercise only had you create two bones for the model's hand rather than five? how would rigging (and animation) be more difficult if you didn't include guide bones, pole targets, and other rigging elements not directly part of the "skeleton" of the mesh? describe the ways your model originally looked "off" in either the deformation/skinning or in the actual animation/keyframing process. also, explain specific ways that you fixed these deficiencies. imagine you were creating a robot instead of a human character. what design changes might you make to the model in terms of rigging and skinning to make the character more "robotic? " how would you tackle the challenge of animating a "boneless" model such as, for example, a traditional rpg slime monster — or, alternatively, something like a snake or a detailed tail animation?

Buddhist painting from india, nepal, and tibetthe production of buddhist manuscripts illustrated with images of various buddhist deities and/or scenes from the life of shakyamuni flourished in bihar and bengal (present-day eastern india and bangladesh) under the rule of the pala dynasty (ca. 8th - 12th century). the illustrations of the gods that appear in these manuscripts were based on descriptions found in indian texts intended to the practitioner mentally invoke the form of the deity. these texts provide the artist with the basic schema of the image, detailing what an image should look like, from the posture, gesture, and color of the deity, to the attributes (objects he or she holds that symbolize specific powers or knowledge).similarities among the buddhist paintings in this section, which are from india, nepal, and tibet, stem from a variety of reasons. they include the continuous trade and contact provided by trade route linkages and the tendency of artists working abroad to emulate indian models, but the main reason is due to the fact that the gods' depictions in the art of all three countries are ultimately dependent upon the meditation texts described above. in addition, during the pala period, pilgrims, monks, and students from all over asia, but particularly from nepal and tibet, flocked to the region's prominent religious centers; when they returned home, they took the pala style with them in the form of portable items such as manuscripts and small sculptures.

The "maple leaf rag" (copyright registered on september 18, 1899)[1] is an early ragtime musical composition for piano composed by scott joplin. it was one of joplin's early works, and became the model for ragtime compositions by subsequent composers. it is one of the most famous of all ragtime pieces.[2] as a result joplin was called the "king of ragtime". the piece gave joplin a steady if unspectacular income for the rest of his life.

The correct answer is a.the castrati were classical singers with very high voice equivalent to that of a soprano, mezzo-soprano or contralto. this effect of high voice was produced by castration before puberty or an endocrinological condition. the castrati first started signing at the church but then they also sang at the opera. they did not only sang in italy but in many churches in europe. finally, they were singing male and female roles as well.
