Two Components of Illumination Two Components of Illumination ● Simplifications used by most computer ● Simplifications used by most computer graphics systems: ● Compute only direct illumination from the Compute only direct illumination from the emitters to the reflectors of the scene ● I gnore the geometry of light emitters, and consider only the geometry of reflectors id l h f fl 13

Ambient Light Source Ambient Light Source ● A simple hack for indirect illumination A simple hack for indirect illumination ● I ncoming ambient illumination (I i,a ) is constant for all surfaces in the scene for all surfaces in the scene ● Reflected ambient illumination (I r,a ) depends only on the surface’s ambient reflection y coefficient (k a ) and not its position or  orientation I k I r ,a a i,a ● These quantities typically specified as (R, G, B) triples triples 14

Point Light Sources Point Light Sources ● Point light sources emit rays from a single Point light sources emit rays from a single point ● Simple approximation to a local light source such as a ● Simple approximation to a local light source such as a light bulb  p l    p p  ˆ l L p l    p p p ˆ L  p ● The direction to the light changes across the surface the surface 15

Directional Light Sources Directional Light Sources ● Light rays are parallel and have no origin Light rays are parallel and have no origin ● Can be considered as a point light at infinity ● A good approximation for sunlight ● A good approximation for sunlight ˆ L ● The direction to the light source is constant over the surface th f ● How can we specify point and directional lights? lights? 16

Other Light Sources Other Light Sources ● Spotlights ● Spotlights ● Point source whose intensity falls off away te s ty a s o a ay from a given direction ● Area light sources g ● Occupies a 2D area (e.g. a polygon or a disk) ● Generates soft shadows 17

Ideal Diffuse Reflection Ideal Diffuse Reflection ● I deal diffuse reflectors (e.g., chalk) I deal diffuse reflectors (e g chalk) ● Reflect uniformly over the hemisphere ● Reflection is view independent ● Reflection is view-independent ● Very rough at the microscopic level ● Follow Lambert’s cosine law ● Follow Lambert s cosine law 18

Lambert’s Cosine Law Lambert s Cosine Law ● The reflected energy from a small surface area ● The reflected energy from a small surface area ˆ from illumination arriving from direction is L ˆ proportional to the cosine of the angle between L and the surface normal ˆ N I I cosθ  ˆ  L r i ˆ  I ( ( N L ) )  ˆ i i 19

Specular Reflection Specular Reflection ● Specular reflectors have a bright view ● Specular reflectors have a bright, view dependent highlight ● E.g., polished metal, glossy car finish, a mirror E.g., polished metal, glossy car finish, a mirror ● At the microscopic level a specular reflecting surface is very smooth ● Specular reflection obeys Snell’s law Image source: astochimp.com and wiki 21

Snell’s Law Snell s Law ● The relationship between the angles of ● The relationship between the angles of the incoming and reflected rays with the normal is given by: ˆ N N ˆ ˆ L   R    n sin n sin i o i i o o ● n and n are the indices of refraction for the ● n i and n o are the indices of refraction for the incoming and outgoing ray, respectively ● Reflection is a special case where n i = n o so  o n o so  o Reflection is a special case where n i =  i ● The incoming ray, the surface normal, and the reflected ray all lie in a common plane 22

Computing the Reflection Vector Computing the Reflection Vector ● The vector R can be computed from the The vector R can be computed from the incoming light direction and the surface normal as shown below: normal as shown below: R (2( N L )) N L ˆ  ˆ  ˆ ˆ  ˆ ● How? ˆ ˆ ˆ N N ˆ ˆ L R ˆ  2( 2( N N L L )) )) N N ˆ ˆ  ˆ L 23

Non Ideal Reflectors Non-Ideal Reflectors ● Snell’s law applies only to ideal specular Snell’s law applies only to ideal specular reflectors ● Roughness of surfaces causes highlight to ● Roughness of surfaces causes highlight to “spread out” ● Empirical models try to simulate the p y appearance of this effect, without trying to capture the physics of it ˆ N ˆ ˆ L R 24

Phong Illumination Phong Illumination ● One of the most commonly used ● One of the most commonly used illumination models in computer graphics ● Empirical model and does not have no physical Empirical model and does not have no physical basis ˆ ˆ N V I I  k k I I (cos (cos ) ) n   ˆ ˆ s L R   r r s s i i n k I ( V R )  ˆ  ˆ s s i ● ˆ is the direction to the viewer (V) ˆ  ● ( V R ) ˆ ˆ ˆ is clamped to [0,1] i l d [0 ] ● The specular exponent n s controls how quickly the highlight falls off the highlight falls off 25
