8. Lighting and Heirarchical Objects
Chapter Overview:
This chapter focuses on lighting objects, looking at different light sources and their effects
on the 3D scene. Lighting is essential if you want to create realistic 3D scenes because it
helps to give the scene a sense of depth.
The following key points are discussed in this chapter: (1) shading, shadows, and different
types of light sources including point, directional, and ambient; (2) reflection of light in
the 3D scene and the two main types: diffuse and ambient reflection; and (3) the details of
shading and how to implement the effect of light to make objects look three-dimensional.
