CHAPTER11Color and Light

Our objects so far have mostly looked as if they plan to stay home and watch the game. It's time now to dress up and go party. The goal for this chapter is to learn how to use light sources to illuminate a scene and complementarily define material properties of objects to determine how they appear when lit.

We begin with a brief discussion of the theory of vision and color models in Section 11.1, learning particularly about the RGB color model so important in CG, as well as a few other models which pop up occasionally, such as CMY, CMYK and HSV. In Section 11.2 we study Phong's lighting model and how it conceives of light coming off an object as comprised of three components – ambient, diffuse and specular – based on ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
