@Dorian Iten what is the difference between the penumbra and ambient occlusion? Not clear to me
Bryant De Jesus
Ambient occlusion = a type of shadow that is created when ambient light is blocked from reaching a surface. I like to think of it as the beginning of the cast shadow where the object completely blocks light before it's exposed to ambient light and reflected light. Penumbra = The softness around the cast shadow. This is the border area/edge of the cast shadow.
