Hey, there! So here's a simple tutorial talking about pillow-shading. Pillow-shading generally is the shading of objects without any real light source. It's easy to see, and also easy to fix. The general solution is to shade objects according to their 3D shape.

For more information, here's a little read-up on different techniques and potential problems you might run into:

As for me, things are going pretty okay, I guess. Keeping up development and progress on stuff, like BDX, the engine I'm contributing to. Trying to peg down simpler ideas and simpler executions, of course, haha.

Anyway, thanks for watching!
