Don't be afraid of the shadows, that only means there's a light nearby.
CREATING
Real-World Applications
The mastery of shading holds the potential to convert conceptual digital projects into vivid visual experiences.
In computer graphics, shading refers to the process of altering the color of an object/surface/polygon in the 3D scene, based on things like (but not limited to) the surface's angle to lights, its distance from lights, its angle to the camera and material properties (e.g. bidirectional reflectance distribution function) to create a photorealistic effect.
Shading techniques find practical application in various industries, scientific research, as well as the realms of cinema and animation, where they play a crucial role in enhancing realism and visual appeal within digital creations.
