Background: The goals of 3D lighting in computer graphics are more or less the same as those of real world lighting. Lighting serves a basic function of bringing out, or pushing back the shapes of objects visible from the camera’s view. It gives a two-dimensional image on the monitor an illusion of the third dimension-depth.

Each light source can be broken down in to 4 distinct components and analyzed accordingly.

• Intensity
• Direction
• Color
• Size
