Lighting and Shading
Computer Graphics
Lighting & Shading
• Approximate physical reality
• Ray tracing:
– Follow light rays through a scene
– Accurate, but expensive (off-line)
• Radiosity:
– Calculate surface inter-reflection approximately
– Accurate, especially interiors, but expensive (off-line)
• Phong Illumination model :
– Approximate only interaction light, surface, viewer
– Relatively fast (on-line), supported in OpenGL
Ray Tracing
Forward Ray Tracing
• Lights emit photon
• Follow the photons
– Trace Path (Ray)
– Bounce off objects
• Reflect, refract, attenuate
– When a ray enters eye
• Calculate intersection with view plane.
• Accumulate color in the pixel
• Expensive
– Many rays will not intersect view plane
Backward Ray Tracing
• Ray-casting: one ray from center of projection
through each pixel in image plane
• Illumination
1. Phong (local as before)
2. Shadow rays
3. Specular reflection
4. Specular transmission
• (3) and (4) require recursion
Shadow Rays
• Determine if light “really” hits surface point
• Cast shadow ray from surface point to light
• If shadow ray hits opaque object, no contribution
• Improved diffuse reflection
Reflection & Transmission Rays
• Reflection Rays
– Calculate specular component of
illumination
– Compute reflection ray
– Call ray tracer recursively to determine
color
– Add contributions
Transmission ray
Analogue for transparent or translucent surface
Use Snell’s laws for refraction
Ray Casting
• Simplest case of ray tracing
– Required as first step of recursive ray tracing
• Basic ray-casting algorithm
– For each pixel (x,y) fire a ray from COP through
(x,y)
– For each ray & object calculate closest intersection
– For closest intersection point p
• Calculate surface normal
• For each light source, calculate and add contributions
• Critical operations
– Ray-surface intersections
– Illumination calculation
Radiosity Methods

Radiosity – concepts
Radiosity
• Radiosity:
– The rate at which energy leaves a surface
– Radiosity = (Emitted energy)+(Reflected energy)
– Light sources are not treated differently in radiosity – every
surface is a light source.
• Radiosity method:
– First determine all the light interactions in an environment in a
view-independent way
– Visible-surface determination and interpolative shading is used
to obtain view dependent image.
Classical Radiosity Method
• Divide surfaces into patches (elements)
• Model light transfer between patches as
system of linear equations
• Important assumptions:
– Reflection and emission are diffuse
• Recall: diffuse reflection is equal in all directions
• So radiance is independent of direction
– No participating media (no fog)
– No transmission (only opaque surfaces)
– Radiosity is constant across each element
– Solve for R, G, B separately

Radiosity Equations
• Radiosity = amount of
energy leaving a surface
per unit area, per unit time (
W / m2 ).
• Form factori–j = ratio of
energy leaving surface j
that arrives at surface i.
• The Radiosity problem :
– Estimate the form factors
– Solve for the entire scene.

Geometric Ingredients
• Three ingredients
– Normal vector m at point P of the surface
– Vector v from P to the viewers eye
– Vector s from P to the light source

P
Types of Light Sources
• Ambient light: no identifiable source or direction
• Diffuse light - Point: given only by point
• Diffuse light - Direction: given only by direction
• Spot light: from source in direction
– Cut-off angle defines a cone of light
– Attenuation function (brighter in center)
• Light source described by a luminance
– Each color is described separately
– I = [I r I g I b ] T (I for intensity)
– Sometimes calculate generically (applies to r, g, b)
Ambient Light
• Global ambient light
– Independent of light source
– Lights entire scene
• Local ambient light
– Contributed by additional light sources
– Can be different for each light and primary color
• Computationally inexpensive
Diffuse Light
• Point Source
– Given by a point
– Light emitted equally in all directions
– Intensity decreases with square of distance
– Point source [x y z 1]T
• Directional Source
– Given by a direction
– Simplifies some calculations
– Intensity dependents on angle between surface
normal and direction of light
– Distant source [x y z 0]T
Spot Lights
• Spotlights are point sources whose intensity falls off
directionally.
– Requires color, point
direction, falloff
parameters

Phong illumination model
• Ideal diffuse reflection
– An ideal diffuse reflector, at the microscopic level, is a very
rough surface (real-world example: chalk)
– Because of these microscopic variations, an incoming ray of
light is equally likely to be reflected in any direction over the
hemisphere
– What does the reflected intensity depend on?
Diffuse Reflection
Computing Diffuse Reflection
• Independent of the angle between m and v
• Does depend on the direction s (Lambertian
surface)

Therefore, the diffuse component is:
Specular Reflection
• Shiny surfaces exhibit specular reflection
– Polished metal
– Glossy car finish
• A light shining on a specular surface causes a bright spot
known as a specular highlight
• Where these highlights appear is a function of the viewer’s
position, so specular reflectance is view dependent
Specular Reflection
• Perfect specular reflection (perfect mirror)
– Snell’s law
• The smoother the surface, the closer it becomes to a
perfect mirror
• Non-perfect specular reflection: Phong Model
– most light reflects according to Snell’s Law
– as we move from the ideal reflected ray, some light is still
reflected

Shading Models
Applying Illumination
• We have an illumination model for a point on a surface
• Assuming that our surface is defined as a mesh of
polygonal facets, which points should we use?
Polygon Shading
Flat Shading
Gouraud Shading Phong Shading
Smooth Shading
Types of Shading Model
Flat Shading
• For each polygon
– Determines a single intensity value
– Uses that value to shade the entire
polygon
• Assumptions
– Light source at infinity
– Viewer at infinity
– The polygon represents the actual surface
being modeled
Wire-frameWire-frame ModelModel
Flat Shading
Flat ShadingFlat Shading
Smooth Shading
• Introduce vertex normals at each
vertex
– Usually different from facet normal
– Used only for shading
– Think of as a better approximation of the real surface that
the polygons approximate
• Two types
– Gouraud Shading
– Phong Shading (do not confuse with Phong Lighting Model)
Gouraud Shading
• This is the most common approach
– Perform Phong lighting at the vertices
– Linearly interpolate the resulting colors over faces
• Along edges
• Along scanlines

If a highlight does not fall on a vertex
Gouraud shading may miss it completely,
but Phong shading does not.
Phong vs Gouraud Shading
Shading Models (Direct lighting)
• Flat Shading
– Compute Phong lighting once for entire polygon
• Gouraud Shading
– Compute Phong lighting at the vertices and interpolate lighting
values across polygon
• Phong Shading
– Interpolate normals across polygon and perform Phong
lighting across polygon
Lighting in OpenGL
Lighting in OpenGL [1/2]
• Enabling shading
– glShadeModel(GL_FLAT)
– glShadeModel(GL_SMOOTH); // Gouraud Shading only
• Using light sources
– Up to 8 light sources
– To create a light
• GLfloat light0_position[] = { 600, 40, 600, 1.0};
• glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_POSITION, light0_position);
• glEnable(GL_LIGHT0);
• glEnable(GL_LIGHTING);
Lighting in OpenGL [2/2]
– Changing light properties
• GLfloat light0_ambient[] = { 0.4, 0.1, 0.0, 1.0 };
• GLfloat light0_diffuse[] = { 0.9, 0.3, 0.3, 1.0 };
• GLfloat light0_specular[] = { 0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 };
• glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_AMBIENT, light0_ambient);
• glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_DIFFUSE, light0_diffuse);
• glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_SPECULAR, light0_specular);

  • 37. Applying Illumination • We have an illumination model for a point on a surface • Assuming that our surface is defined as a mesh of polygonal facets, which points should we use?
  • 38. Polygon Shading Flat Shading Gouraud Shading Phong Shading Smooth Shading Types of Shading Model
  • 39. Flat Shading • For each polygon – Determines a single intensity value – Uses that value to shade the entire polygon • Assumptions – Light source at infinity – Viewer at infinity – The polygon represents the actual surface being modeled
  • 41. Smooth Shading • Introduce vertex normals at each vertex – Usually different from facet normal – Used only for shading – Think of as a better approximation of the real surface that the polygons approximate • Two types – Gouraud Shading – Phong Shading (do not confuse with Phong Lighting Model)
  • 42. Gouraud Shading • This is the most common approach – Perform Phong lighting at the vertices – Linearly interpolate the resulting colors over faces • Along edges • Along scanlines

  • 48. If a highlight does not fall on a vertex Gouraud shading may miss it completely, but Phong shading does not. Phong vs Gouraud Shading
  • 49. Shading Models (Direct lighting) • Flat Shading – Compute Phong lighting once for entire polygon • Gouraud Shading – Compute Phong lighting at the vertices and interpolate lighting values across polygon • Phong Shading – Interpolate normals across polygon and perform Phong lighting across polygon
  • 51. Lighting in OpenGL [1/2] • Enabling shading – glShadeModel(GL_FLAT) – glShadeModel(GL_SMOOTH); // Gouraud Shading only • Using light sources – Up to 8 light sources – To create a light • GLfloat light0_position[] = { 600, 40, 600, 1.0}; • glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_POSITION, light0_position); • glEnable(GL_LIGHT0); • glEnable(GL_LIGHTING);
  • 52. Lighting in OpenGL [2/2] – Changing light properties • GLfloat light0_ambient[] = { 0.4, 0.1, 0.0, 1.0 }; • GLfloat light0_diffuse[] = { 0.9, 0.3, 0.3, 1.0 }; • GLfloat light0_specular[] = { 0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 }; • glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_AMBIENT, light0_ambient); • glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_DIFFUSE, light0_diffuse); • glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_SPECULAR, light0_specular);
