Lighting and shading
This document discusses lighting and shading models in computer graphics. It explains that lighting has two main components - the lighting model which calculates intensity at surface points, and surface rendering methods like ray tracing. Common lighting models include ambient, diffuse, and specular components. The diffuse component follows Lambert's cosine law, while the specular component uses Snell's law and the Phong reflection model. Together these components make up the lighting equation, which is approximated using shading techniques like constant, Gouraud, and Phong shading to assign colors to pixels.

- 4. “Lighting” • Two components: –Lighting Model or Shading Model - how we calculate the intensity at a point on the surface – Surface Rendering Method - How we calculate the intensity at each pixel
- 5. Jargon • Illumination -the transport of light from a source to a point via direct and indirect paths • Lighting - computing the luminous intensity for a specified 3D point, given a viewpoint • Shading - assigning colors to pixels • Illumination Models: – Empirical - approximations to observed light properties – Physically based - applying physics properties of light and its interactions with matter
- 6. The lighting problem… •What are we trying to solve? • Global illumination – the transport of light within a scene. • What factors play a part in how an object is “lit”? • Let’s examine different items here…
- 7. Two components • LightSource Properties – Color (Wavelength(s) of light) – Shape – Direction • Object Properties – Material – Geometry – Absorption
- 8. Light Source Properties •Color – We usually assume the light has one wavelength • Shape – point light source - approximate the light source as a 3D point in space. Light rays emanate in all directions. • good for small light sources (compared to the scene) • far away light sources
- 9. Distributed Lights • LightSource Shape continued – distributed light source - approximating the light source as a 3D object. Light rays usually emanate in specific directions • good for larger light sources • area light sources
- 10. Light Source Direction •In computer graphics, we usually treat lights as rays emanating from a source. The direction of these rays can either be: – Omni-directional (point light source) – Directional (spotlights)
- 11. Light Position • Wecan specify the position of a light one of two ways, with an x, y, and z coordinate. – What are some examples? – These lights are called positional lights • Q: Are there types of lights that we can simplify? A: Yep! Think about the sun. If a light is significantly far away, we can represent the light with only a direction vector. These are called directional lights. How does this help?
- 12. Contributions from lights •We will breakdown what a light does to an object into three different components. This APPROXIMATES what a light does. To actually compute the rays is too expensive to do in real-time. – Light at a pixel from a light = Ambient + Diffuse + Specular contributions. – Ilight= Iambient + Idiffuse + Ispecular
- 13. Ambient Term -Background Light • The ambient term is a HACK! • It represents the approximate contribution of the light to the general scene, regardless of location of light and object • Indirect reflections that are too complex to completely and accurately compute • Iambient = color
- 14. Diffuse Term • Contributionthat a light has on the surface, regardless of viewing direction. • Diffuse surfaces, on a microscopic level, are very rough. This means that a ray of light coming in has an equal chance of being reflected in any direction. • What are some ideal diffuse surfaces?
- 15. Lambert’s Cosine Law •Diffuse surfaces follow Lambert’s Cosine Law • Lambert’s Cosine Law - reflected energy from a small surface area in a particular direction is proportional to the cosine of the angle between that direction and the surface normal. • Think about surface area and # of rays
- 16. Diffuse Term • Todetermine how much of a diffuse contribution a light supplies to the surface, we need the surface normal and the direction on the incoming ray • What is the angle between these two vectors? • Idiffuse = kdIlightcosθ = kdIlight(N . L) • Ilight = diffuse (intensity) of light • kd [0..1] = surface diffuse reflectivity • What CS are L and N in? • How expensive is it?

- 18. Specular Reflection • Specularcontribution can be thought of as the “shiny highlight” of a plastic object. • On a microscopic level, the surface is very smooth. Almost all light is reflected. • What is an ideal purely specular reflector? • What does this term depend on? Viewing Direction Normal of the Surface
- 19. Snell’s Law • Specularreflection applies Snell’s Law. • The incoming ray, the surface normal, and the reflected ray all lie in a common plane. • The angle that the reflected ray forms with the surface normal is determined by the angle that the incoming ray forms with the surface normal, and the relative speeds of light of the mediums in which the incident and reflected rays propagate according to: • We assume θl = θr
- 20. Snell’s Law isfor IDEAL surfaces • Think about the amount of light reflected at different angles. N L R Vθ

- 23. Phong Model Phong ReflectionModel • An approximation is sets the intensity of specular reflection proportional to (cos φ)shininess • What are the possible values of cos φ? • What does the value of shininess mean? • How do we represent shinny or dull surfaces using the Phong model? • What is the real thing we probably SHOULD do? • Ispecular = ksIlight(cos φ)shininess = ksIlight(V.R)shininess

- 25. How do wecompute R? • N*(N.L) • R+L=2N(N.L) • R = 2N(N.L)-L N L R Vθ N(N.L) φ L
- 26. Simplify this • Insteadof R, we compute halfway between L and V. • We call this vector the halfway vector, H. N L R Vθ φ ( )shininess yspecularitlightsspecular HNIkI VL VL H ⋅= + + = _ H

- 28. Combining the terms •Ambient - the combination of light reflections from various surfaces to produce a uniform illumination. Background light. • Diffuse - uniform light scattering of light rays on a surface. Proportional to the “amount of light” that hits the surface. Depends on the surface normal and light vector. • Sepecular - light that gets reflected. Depends on the light ray, the viewing angle, and the surface normal.

- 33. Attenuation • One factorwe have yet to take into account is that a light source contributes a higher incident intensity to closer surfaces. • The energy from a point light source falls off proportional to 1/d2 . • What happens if we don’t do this?
