The Importance of Lighting in Animation
Lighting
Effect
Directional Light
Simulates the sun, casting strong shadows and creating
depth.
Point Light
A focused light source, creating soft shadows and
highlights.
Ambient Light
Provides a general illumination, filling in shadows and
creating atmosphere.

Fluid Simulation
Simulating the behavior of liquids, including water, lava, and smoke, for
dynamic visuals.
Fire and Smoke Simulation
Generating realistic fire and smoke effects, adding dramatic visual
elements to animations.
