You have your product or title object beautifully modeled and textured…but what about lighting? Well, one short answer is to look into Global Illumination. Another option fake GI with a complex lighting scheme. There are many options out there, here is one. We’re going to use MoGraph to make the setup a little easier and more flexible.
Occlusion is a fast and simple method to simulate the effects of global illumination. Ambient occlusion is most often calculated by casting rays in every direction from the surface. Rays which reach the background or “sky” increase the brightness of the surface, whereas a ray which hits any other object contributes no illumination. As a result, points surrounded by a large amount of geometry are rendered dark, where as points with little geometry on the visible hemisphere appear light. The soft appearance achieved by ambient occlusion alone is similar to the way an object appears on an overcast day. So what basically this shader does is try to re-create the effect of ambient occlusion.
