    Umbra – (Latin for "shadow") The area completely obscured by object or the “Hard” shadows Penumbra – The area partially obscured by object or the “Soft” shadows Core Shadow – The shadow edge Specular Highlight - This is a reflection from a light source and is the bright spot of light that appears on the surface of a 3d object. The smaller the highlight the shinier the surface, the larger the highlight the more the surface defuses the light. Reflected Light – Is a faint light reflected or bounced back on the object from the surfaces surrounding it. Mid-Tone – The tonal value mid-way between the highlight and shadow. Sometimes referred to as halftone. Value – The gradation of tone from light to dark or of color luminosity |
