8. Diffuse lighting


  •                 L·N
        cos(a) = _________
                   |L||N|

    • Please note that lighting direction L is from the surface towards the light.

    • The angle between the surface normal and the light source vector is called the angle of incidence of the light

  • Lambertian reflectance

  • L – the incoming light vector

  • N – the normal of the plane/vertex
