Description: Light diffusion refers to the phenomenon by which light disperses when interacting with various surfaces. This process is fundamental in 3D graphics representation, as it affects how we perceive objects and their surroundings. When light strikes a surface, it can be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted, and how it behaves depends on the physical properties of the material. Light diffusion is crucial for simulating realistic lighting in computer graphics, as it allows for the creation of shadows, highlights, and nuances that mimic how light behaves in the real world. In computer graphics, various lighting models that consider light diffusion are implemented, such as the Phong model or the Blinn-Phong model. These models help calculate how light interacts with surfaces, enabling developers to create visually appealing and realistic scenes. Proper implementation of light diffusion not only enhances the aesthetics of a scene but also contributes to user immersion in virtual environments, making the experience more convincing and dynamic.
