AMBIENT LIGHT - What is it?

Ambient light refers to the general lighting level in a 3D scene. It is the light that fills the entire scene and determines the overall brightness and atmosphere. Ambient light comes from all directions and is usually diffuse and soft, creating realistic lighting.

In 3D rendering software, Ambient Light is often treated as a global factor that illuminates the entire scene at once, rather than using individual light sources. It can also be used to soften or hide shadows in the scene, making them softer and more realistic.

Ambient Light can also be used to influence the overall mood and atmosphere of a scene. For example, a blue ambient light can create a cooler mood, while a warm orange tone can create a warmer mood.

How to use ES Perfect

In order to use Ambient Light perfectly, there are a few things to keep in mind:

Place the light in a place where it can improve the lighting in the room without being directly in view. It should also not be placed too close to screens or other bright light sources, as this could impair vision.
Adjust the Ambient Light to balance the lighting in the room and create a pleasant atmosphere. It should not be too light or too dark, but find a pleasant middle.
Experiment with different colors and intensities to create the mood you want. Warm light is especially good for relaxation and recreation, while cold light is more suitable for concentration and productive work.
Keep in mind that ambient light is only part of the lighting in a room and that other light sources such as windows, floor lamps and overhead lights also play a role. Try to use all the light sources so that together they create a harmonious lighting.
Use the light type also to change the mood in the room by adjusting the color and intensity accordingly. For example, you can set the light warm and soft when having dinner with friends, while you prefer cold, bright light when working.

The mistakes you should avoid at all costs

Here are some mistakes you should avoid when using Ambient light in 3D:

Don’t use too strong ambient light: if it’s too strong, it can cause the details in your scene to be lost and everything to look the same. Make sure the ambient lighting is realistic and highlights the colors and textures in your scene well.
Don’t use ambient light that is too weak: if it is too weak, it can cause your scene to become too dark and it will be difficult to see the details. Make sure that the ambient light is bright enough to illuminate the scene well.
Don’t use unnatural colors for the ambient light: Don’t use unnatural colors like neon green or pink for the ambient light, because they make the scene look unnatural. Instead, use natural colors like white or blue to create a realistic atmosphere.
Do not use unnatural shadows: If this light form creates unnatural shadows, it can make the scene look unbelievable. Make sure it creates realistic shadows that match the objects in the scene.
Don’t use ambient light if it’s not necessary: If your scene is well lit by other light sources, it may not be necessary to use it. Use it only if it is really necessary to represent the scene realistically.
