where is this light coming from??
>>
>>7893339
Reflections from the white walls most likely
>>
>>7893341
why are they only hitting those spots though
>>
>>7893344
You can see them on the arms too.
>>
>>7893344
My guess is that the white wall is only behind her near enough so only the end of her side boobs catch the light

the fresnel effect. a surface becomes more reflective the steeper the angle you are viewing it from

>a surface becomes more reflective the steeper the angle you are viewing it from
why
what's the intuitive reason for this
>>
>>7893344
>>7893350
Light bounces better off the convex surfaces of the breasts opposed to the slightly concave surface of the arms
>>
>>7893357
Interesting! I already assumed something like this but didn't know it has a name

Oh look. There's a Marco Bucci video on this. There's a Marco Bucci video for pretty much any light or color principle. All of this information, for free.

you are just supposed to magically know that its light bouncing off the secret walls photographers put out of view to improve the photo and won't tell you about.
>>
>>7893359
not every surface evenly tho, its called fresnel refelction, and different materials have different value, if you have slightly (just slightly not fully, and best if painted not chrome) reflective round kettele, its a good example, you dont usually see your own reflection in the middle, but you see the kitchen reflected on both sides of the kettle, the sides are steeper angle from you, and middle is flat. its a very often used concept in 3d graphic, where you build realistic materials, you need to match their fresnel reflection to match real world

that didnt explain why it happens, it just explained what fresnel looks like
>>7893357
look at this drawing, it says something similar happens because of reflected light. But why is the reflection/fresnel efffect not visible at the front of the ball (or in this case the other side of the boob)?

I made a picture for you, if you're white and 100 or more IQ you should be able to figure out why one appear more shiny now :)

>>7893639
thanks for nothing brother

>>7893642
you're welcome SAAR!

you might be retarded if you think the diagram you showed explains anything clearly. Thanks though, appreciate the effort.

The graphic is probably referenced from How to Render (picrel) and that's why to front bottom of the ball is lit instead of having an occlusion shadow which I think would be correct for the angle. Many other issues as well like there is no reflected light on the right side of the ball. Why the other side of the boobs are not lit is because there is nothing to reflect (no wall), instead they get darker because of occlusion which happens when forms get close to each other and block/diminish incoming light by bouncing it off of each other
>>
>>7893645
no you're retarded here, its sad because its so obvious with this picture, its pretty funny now, but you need to be around 100IQ to get it I guess. I'll give you another tip since I have white saviour obligation, what happen if you have 2 surfaces with exactly same energy of light emission, but you compress one of them in size? If you dont get it now you're below 90 IQ and we need to change the tactic here.

>>7893648
I don't want to talk to someone who is being so rude, so i won't be replying to your future messages. Thank you and god bless.

I hope you'll get to 90IQ and understand simplest light physics problem, when few people already explained it to you
>>
>>7893654
Maybe it would help if you weren't so rude and racist, but maybe you will learn that in time. I imagine you still have some maturing to do.
>>
>>7893655
>Maybe it would help
that's not my problem, you're the one who can't understand siple explenation even with a drawing to help. Don't expect people on the internet to act like you mommy.
>>
>>7893656
I think it IS your problem. You're the one being judgmental, rude, and racist for something very insignificant. That's not a very nice thing to do, and it's on you to learn to be nicer to others.
>>
>>7893339
hmm yes, where does the light come from
>>
>>7893339
Bounce lighting little bro
>>
>>7893339
source?
>>
>>7893339
Fresnel reflection.
The higher the angle, the higher the reflection. Those lights are the reflection of walls.

You can see this effect on the sea. When you look at your feet, you can see the sand underwater, but if you look in the distance, the sky is reflected on the water.

Nta but that actually explain it, thx

how do you explain this light then?
the fresnel edge is coming from the side of the body that's in shadow. Where is the light being reflected from? If it's fresnel light, then it has to be coming from directly behind (or close to directly behind) the model, since it requires a shallow angle from the light source to the camera. But that part of the scene is in shade, so it has no light eminating from it..
>>
>>7893776
the thing she is sitting on is reflecting into the shadows. see a diagram like >>7893647
>>
>>7893784
But the shadow behind her, on the fabric, is darker than the light that is laying on her skin. How can the light come from the shadow?
Unless you're referring to the light coming from the bright parts of the fabric, but they wouldn't be visible in the fresnel area because the angle is too sharp, right?
>>
>>7893776
That's not fresnel, just a regular reflection. The light is coming from further in the right. Imagine shining a lamp on her from a directly 90 degrees angle compared to camera. You would that side of her get brighter. That's not fresnel
I don't think the boobs in OP's image really show fresnel effect in action either, but the arms might See how the reflection there gets brighter in the middle before it gets darker further back.
>>
>>7893787
all reflections near the edges of an object are always affected by the fresnel effect, no?
I alson don't get your point - the direct light is coming from our left, not right.
>>
>>7893790
>all reflections near the edges of an object are always affected by the fresnel effect, no?
They are but it's not always noticeable. The effect is pronounced in OP's image because of the increased specularity of the skin due to the wetness.
I wasn't even talking about direct light anywhere, other than the hypothetical imagined lamp (In reality the light is reflected light from the drapery). What confuses you?
>>
>>7893791
ok then how does fresnel differ from normal reflected light? How can you tell the difference in terms of how the effects can be seen in a photo?

Look here. That bright line in the middle? That's the fresnel effect. That's where the angle coincides with the camera so that the light appears stronger.
>>
>>7893794

The difference between Fresnel and reflected light is that it is uni-directional - tracing a direct path to your eye (specular reflection). Reflected light on rough surfaces is bounced in all directions, just making the surface brighter, but almost no direct path (diffuse reflection).

Fresnel, like a mirror surface, straight from the environment towards your eye, allowing you to see a reflection of the environment.
>>
>>7893339
Bounce light
>>
>>7893359
Less light transmits through the material and ends up reflecting, conserving energy and creating a stronger reflection. Steeper angle of incidence => higher transmission, weaker reflection. Shallow angle of incidence => lower transmission, stronger reflection. This should answer your question as to why it happens.
>>
>>7893631
The ability to extrapolate information from videos is very important for self teaching. I could explain the why, but so that you actually take something away from this, why don't you give your best guess as to the why based off the information provided to you. I'm imploring you to use your brain here as that's the best way to learn.
>>
>>7893631
This is an awful example
>>
>>7893359
light bounces off more strongly the steeper the angle, lending some level of reflectivity to surfaces, you can see it in car windshields or your phone screen, either being opaque or see thru from the front but fairly reflecting as it turns away from u
