Environment Lighting

Environment Lighting is a method in 3D art where the light comes from the surroundings, like a sky or a room, to make objects look real. Designers use images called HDRIs to wrap around a scene, so light bounces off surfaces in a way that matches the real world. This technique helps create soft shadows and reflections that make digital objects blend into their backgrounds. By changing the color or brightness of the environment, designers can quickly set the mood or time of day in a scene without moving any lights.
