[prev][next]

Basic Concepts

Terms

illumination:calculating light intensity at a point (object space; equation) based loosly on physical laws
shading:algorithm for calculating intensities at pixels (image space; algorithm) (H & B uses surface rendering)

Objects

light sources -- light - emitting
other objects -- light - reflecting

Light sources

point (special case: at infinity)
distributed
