    Sun Light: Simulates a distant light source, like the sun, providing consistent parallel rays.

                         Spot Light: Projects light in a cone shape, similar to a flashlight or stage spotlight.
                         Area Light: Emits soft, diffused light from a flat surface, making it useful for realistic lighting in
                         scenes.

                     To Change the Light Type, follow these steps:

                     Step  1  Select the default light in the Outliner panel.
                     Step  2   Click  on the  Object  Data  Properties tab  in the

                     Step  3  Click on the Light Type drop-down menu.

                     Step  4   Select the desired light type (Point, Sun, Spot or Area).
                             For this example, we will use Sun.

                     THREE-POINT LIGHTING
                     Three-point lighting is a standard lighting technique used in photography, filmmaking and 3D

                     rendering to create depth and dimension. It provides balanced illumination by using three different
                     light sources, each serving a specific purpose.
                     The name comes from the use of three distinct light sources positioned at different angles around

                     the subject to control shadows, highlights and overall visibility.
                     Three-point lighting consists of the following:

                     Key Light: The main and strongest light source that defines
                     the subject’s shape and highlights its primary details. It is
                     usually placed at an angle to create depth and natural
                     shading.

                     Fill Light: A softer light that reduces shadows cast by the
                     key light. It is positioned opposite the key light and helps
                     maintain a balanced exposure without making the scene
                     too harsh.

                     Rim Light (Back Light): A light placed behind or slightly to
                     the side of the subject, creating a glowing edge or outline.
                     This separates the subject from the background and adds depth to the scene.

                     To set up three-point lighting, follow these steps:

                     Step  1  Click the default cube to select it.
                     Step  2  Press Delete on your keyboard to confirm the deletion.

                     Step  3  Click Add at the top menu.
                     Step  4  In the drop-down list, click Mesh. A submenu appears.

                     Step  5  Click Monkey from the submenu.

                                                                                                 Introduction to Blender  167
