@Dorian Iten what is the difference between the penumbra and ambient occlusion? Not clear to me
LESSON NOTES
Let's delve into the penumbra, and review all 12 modeling factors.

Hoping that actually rendering the sphere will help me to remember all the 12 factors. Plus, I find rendering just meditative and relaxing at the end of the day :)
@Dorian Iten what is the difference between the penumbra and ambient occlusion? Not clear to me
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.
