So that's why and how nothing should be painted as flat black, I'm guessing. Something i was taught but it was never explained.

I think of ambient light as "the light that fills the shadows of ALL objects", while reflected light is "the light that bounces from - and fills the shadows of - objects close to eachother"

i think he talks more about light in the 2nd and 3rd videos

ron lemen has some videos on rendering that i thought were helpful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Pd0xqPzKCc

yea

25 May 10:37

Adam Lina

its like everything thats in the light is its own secondary light source

25 May 10:35

Adam Lina

that makes sense

How I see it now is that ambient light is more like sky light (planes facing up) and bounce light is planes facing down. reflective from surrounding objects. Sorry if I'm confusing you :p

25 May 10:33

Adam Lina

yea you could think of it that way i guess

Doesn't ambient light affect the whole scene, but reflective is more local?

25 May 10:32

Adam Lina

i just think of it as light bouncing around

25 May 10:32

Jun

I think there might be slight difference between reflective and ambient light

25 May 10:32

BrushNoir

haha pfew :p I got it now, thanks!

25 May 10:32

Adam Lina

oh yea i guess so lol

25 May 10:31

BrushNoir

Dang it, thought I figured it haha now you lost me :p. Wouldn't that be reflective light?

25 May 10:31

Adam Lina

its the lighter part of a shaded area

25 May 10:30

Adam Lina

ambient light can be in shadows

Most of my knowledge comes from 3D work, so I got a little confused there.

25 May 10:28

BrushNoir

cool, thing is it got me confused cause of a tutorial. The guy was painting ambient light he said but he was just painting shadows and AO

25 May 10:28

Adam Lina

yea you can have ambient light from any light source

25 May 10:28

Sky light = Ambient Lighting

25 May 10:28

Jun

Ah, right.

25 May 10:27

Adam Lina

ambient light is light thats bouncing from one surface to another so the strength of the light is diminished

25 May 10:27

Jun

Yes.

25 May 10:27

BrushNoir

yeah, like the sky right?

25 May 10:27

Ambient light also usually shines from all directions

25 May 10:26

BrushNoir

ah ok cool

25 May 10:26

BrushNoir

ugh I confuse myself now haha, AO is basically shadowspot where the sun don't shine.

25 May 10:26

Adam Lina

ambient occlusion is where objects are close together so less ambient light can reach them

25 May 10:25

with no light source
