What is Flat Lighting

Flat lighting refers to a style of illumination that produces minimal depth and contrast in a scene. It is commonly utilized in both photography and film/video. This technique involves the use of a single light source, which can be a point light or an area light, positioned anywhere within the scene. The resulting effect is a uniform distribution of light across each pixel in the image, resulting in a lack of variation in luminance throughout. While flat lighting is generally considered less desirable, there are specific contexts where it may be intentionally employed or unintentionally occur. In computer graphics, flat lighting is often employed to simulate natural sunlight and facilitate the creation of realistic-looking images.

甚麼是平光照明

平光照明（Flat lighting）是指一種在場景中僅產生極少深度感與對比度的照明風格，常見於攝影及電影/影片製作。此技術通常使用單一光源（可為點光源或面光源），並可放置於場景中的任何位置。其結果是圖像中的每個像素都均勻受光，全圖亮度缺乏變化。雖然平光照明通常被認為不夠理想，但在特定情況下亦可能被刻意採用或不經意產生。在電腦繪圖領域，平光照明常被用於模擬自然日光，以利於製作出具逼真感圖像。
