diffuse lighting
Scattered, even glow
Diffuse lighting is soft, scattered illumination that spreads evenly across surfaces without harsh shadows or bright spots.
In photography and film, diffuse light flatters faces and reduces contrast.
In computer graphics, it describes how surfaces reflect light equally in all directions regardless of viewing angle: The scene looked flat because they only used diffuse lighting.
