Drawing

Lights face facing lights
Core shadow lights passed tangent
Reflected light lights below core shadow
Cast shadow lights passed objects

Simple but hard factor about lights:

  • all lights have size, extreme small (firefly) to extreme big (sun)
  • light energy falls off as it travels, light all fades into shadows (except bright Sun and sky)
  • sharp shadow created by relative small light or far light, soft shadow created by relative large light or near light
  • specular is reflection image of light source

Object surface:

  • it reflects light for use to see
  • it colorize light when light pass through
  • object surface roughness controls amount of the angle that you can see the specular reflection,
    • rough surface, you can find the specualr shape in a large angle of view
    • polish surface, you can find the specualr shape only in its pin-point normal based refelction.

Sculpting

Typography

X height the height of lower case letter
ascender letter that above baseline
descender letter that below baseline
point size overall size of letter
line space 120% of letter point size
kerning space between letters
monospace same space between letter
tracking horizontal space in word
true italic more script like
faux italic more print like
bold
antialiased non-antialiased will show better for small point size.
Legibility
word shape [legibility vs LEGIBILITY]
pattern or grid [can separate 2 block of text]
