How do you create an environment using a polygon sphere around your scene using Maya?
Q. We learned this way to create an environment by creating our scene and then placing a polygon sphere around the scene to create an environmental lighting, but I don't know how to do it. Can someone help me with it? Thanks in advance.

A. Usually that is created in the beginning...then use the lighting tool to position where the light is coming from after you have your scene/figure created.

Asked by chelsea r - Thu Aug 23 21:37:20 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Hey there! Let's use the formula N=180(n-2)/n, where N is the measure of interior angle and n is the number of sides. N=180(n-2)/n --> Write the problem. 120=180(n-2)/n --> Substitute 120 for n. 120n=180(n-2) --> Multiply n on both sides of the equation. 120n=180n-360 --> Distribute 180 into n-2. -60n=-360 --> Subtract 180n on both sides of the equation. n=6 Divide -60 on both sides of the equation. So the polygon has 6 sides. Hope it helps!

What is the equation to find exterior angle measurements in any polygon?

Asked by no name - Mon Dec 15 19:52:03 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The sum of the *exterior* angles of a convex polygon is always 360 . If you have a *regular* polygon (all angles the same), then you can find the measure of any exterior angle by dividing by the number of angles (which is the same as the number of sides). The exterior angles of an n-sided regular polygon are all: 360 /n (If you don't have a regular polygon, you can have different measurements for each of the exterior angles. All you can definitively say is they add up to 360 )

Asked by Felicia - Wed Oct 22 17:20:35 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Given a polygon of n sides, there are n - 2 triangles you can form by connecting a given vertice to all other vertices of the polygon. Therefore, the sum of the interior angles is given by: 180(n - 2), where n is the number of sides. Therefore, for a 11 sided polygon we have that the sum of the interior angles as: 180(11 - 2) = 1620 Therefore, each angle is 1620/11 degrees.

A. tesselate. hmm. it's a sort of fancy way of saying you want to "tile" a plane. think of it this way. suppose you have a really, really large flat floor.. and you want to put tiles that would cover every inch of it (no cracks or spaces in between the tiles). what shape of tiles would you put? square tiles will do. so will equilateral triangles ones (triangles can tesselate a plane - just place them beside each other pointing up and down alternately). and regular hexagons. etc.

Asked by barbara h - Tue Sep 23 13:30:55 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There are a total of 170 diagonals explained below. Each point can be connected by a diagonal to 17 others - not to itself or the 2 points it is connected to as part of the figure. This would therefore mean there are 20*17/2 diagonals i.e. 170 (the/2 is because each diagonal would otherwise be counted twice - once from each end!)

If the question asks for the mathematical formula for a polygon, then the following sequence shows how to derive the general formuls for computing the perimeter of a regular polygon.
