minus-squareYoFrodo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up47arrow-down2·1 year agoYep, virtual lights work the same as real lights

minus-squareflames5123@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·edit-21 year agoExactly what I thought while I was commenting that. The reflections are what made me rewrite it 😅
minus-squareJcbAzPx@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoThat depends on how the game does reflections. In some games they have a mirrored room with an identical but different light for the reflection.

minus-squarecholesterol@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·1 year agoStrictly speaking, reflected light isn’t ‘emitted’. A mirror isn’t an emitter of light either.
minus-squareChrobin@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·edit-21 year agoPhotons get absorbed and then re-emitted. I’d argue that counts as emission as it’s one part of the reflection process.
