I am often discussing rimlighting and core shadows, but I’ve never actually defined them and some of you may not know what I am talking about, so I’ve opted for some demystification here…
#1 diagram
the highlight is also known as a hotspot when it is very pure and you know I like strong values, so most of my highlights are also hotspots...
reflected highlights are also called bounce lights when they come from the environment. when they come from an actual light source, they're rimlights
Thanks for this short lesson, Alex.
it seemed like some folks were confused about my terminology, so…
Well, I learned something today (and trust teaching an old dog a new trick isn’t as easy as it should be). Thanks, Alex!
The way you keep up with new tech, that can’t be true. Dou itashimashite…
In truth, it’s pretty complicated for me
unless you want to have a lexicon for light and shadow, you don’t need to know any of this
I was a bad student…………..
I wasn’t a good student either, but I did remember all I was taught…
It’s good if you continue to give courses here, brother.
Okay, I will do the light rigs next
I don’t know how many are interested in learning to paint or others, but the knowledge you provide can be very useful!
I don’t mind sharing some technique
Great information to help me when I start drawing once again.
one last thing- a strong light source casts a strong shadow, while a weak light source casts a weak shadow…
This is somewhat like the shading tutorial but with more explanation!!
It’ll be difficult to tell when its not a ball… but,
Great stuff, Alex!!!
most complex shapes can be described by primitives, and the sphere is a very common primitive, right after the cylinder
