==Lighting==
=Lighting=
'''Lighting''' is an arrangement of light sources to depict an environment with depth and color. In video games, this specifically refers to any calculated light source that illuminates and shades 3D objects, as well as fog that fades the color and detail of distant objects to a default color. In the [[Pikmin series]], the main lighting configuration is sunlight, which shades all objects in an area. Each game in the series has a different way of handling their lighting configurations; the simulation of sunlight throughout a [[day]] becomes more and more realistic as the games progress.
'''Lighting''' is the arrangement or effect of objects that produce light, in order to depict a lit environment with depth and color. In video games, this specifically refers to any calculated light source that illuminates and shades 3D objects, as well as fog that obscures distant objects. In the [[Pikmin series]], lighting is extremely important to achieving realistic-looking environments and objects, as the designers try to create as much realism in the ''Pikmin'' world as possible.
 
In this article:
*"Light" is any object, seen or unseen, that illuminates an environment.
*"Dynamic" lights are lights that move or cause visible highlights or reflections on objects, while
*"Static" lights are lights that simply add brightness to an area without interacting with other objects.
*"Shading" is the contrast of color on an object because one side of it is illuminated by a light.  
*"Shadows" are shapes of low light on a surface, created when an object stands in between light rays and that surface.
*"Materials" are the compositions of objects that interact with light in different ways.
 
==Light sources==
Sunlight is the primary source of light in the [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' series]], and plays an important role in conveying the passage of a [[day]]. When a day begins, the color and brightness of a landscape try to suggest morning. As the day progresses, the sun gets brighter and the environment more colorful, until late in the day when it begins setting and colors become more orange as in a sunset. Each game in the series has a unique way of handling sunlight and the shadows it casts, and as the games progress, this arrangement gets closer to simulating real sunlight.

[[File:Time passage P1.gif|thumb|right|Typical passage of sunlight on a day in ''Pikmin''.]]
The only dynamic light is sunlight, that shades all objects but does not actually calculate shadows. This light moves throughout the day, beginning foggy and bright in the morning, clear and at average brightness for the majority of the day, and fading to yellow to orange and finally to very little light as [[Day#Sunset|sunset]] approaches (except in [[The Forest Navel]]; sunlight is still present there but does not move or change color). All objects in an area have shading based on this light, but none of the scenery casts real moving shadows based on this light. To help players perceive Pikmin locations, up to 50 Pikmin will cast soft shadows that move throughout the day, even when there is no sunlight. In order to optimize processing power, shadows cast by Pikmin are not drawn if more than 51 Pikmin are on the field; instead, they will all have faint shadows directly underneath them. Enemies always have this sort of faint shadow, except for the [[Beady Long Legs]]. Environmental objects like [[Vegetation|plants]] never move on the map, so one large texture accounts for all their shadows. The exception is [[Pellet Posies]], which cast soft dynamic shadows just like Pikmin.
In [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], the only dynamic light is sunlight, that shades all objects but does not actually calculate shadows. This light moves throughout the day, beginning foggy and bright in the morning, clear and at average brightness for the majority of the day, and fading to yellow to orange and finally to very little light at [[Day#Sunset|sunset]] approaches. All 3D objects have shading and specular highlights based on this light. While the shading on objects does change relative to sunlight, no objects receive shadows cast by other objects; these cast shadows are textures. [[Captain Olimar]] and [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]], cast soft shadows that move throughout the day, even when there is no sunlight. In order to optimize processing power, shadows cast by Olimar and Pikmin are not drawn if more than 51 Pikmin are on the field. Enemies have very soft faint shadows directly underneath them. Environmental objects like [[Vegetation|plants]] never move on the map, so one large texture accounts for all their shadows.


All other forms of light, such as [[Common Glowcap]]s and the exhaust of the [[S.S. Dolphin]], are texture-based; they do not cast any shading on objects, so their lights are simply effects. Objects that reflect light, such as metal [[ship part]]s, do so through a reflection-mapped texture.
All other forms of light, such as [[Common Glowcap]]s, the light beams coming from the [[Onion]]s, and even the light around Captain Olimar in The Forest Navel, are static lights. They do not cast any shading or shadows on objects, but simply brighten the area around them to aid visibility or provide light effects, such as the powerful exhaust from the [[S.S. Dolphin]].


In [[The Forest Navel]], this sunlight lamp and Pikmin shadows do not move, since the area is underground and only so much light gets in. A faint area lamp around Olimar lights up the dark areas.

[[File:Time passage P2.gif|thumb|right|Typical passage of sunlight on a day in ''Pikmin 2''.]]
Sunlight in [[Pikmin 2|''Pikmin 2'']] behaves very similarly to that in the previous game, except the color of sunlight varies by area, and fog is generally less pronounced. Around noon, the brightness of the sunlight generally increases, and toward the end of the day it dramatically decreases and turns orange. Yet at any point in the day, when a leader approaches an incomplete [[cave]] from above ground, the lighting always mixes a very foggy green color to its current color. All objects are shaded by this sunlight, but most of them (including static objects) do not cast accurate shadows. Instead, most moving objects cast circular shadows directly beneath them, and those shadows never move. However, unlike the shadows in ''Pikmin'', these circular shadows can actually dim other objects, and their simple shape allows many shadows to be rendered at once. Several objects have uniquely shaped shadows for specific reasons, such as:
Sunlight in [[Pikmin 2|''Pikmin 2'']] behaves very similarly to that in the previous game, except the color of sunlight varies by region, and while sunset colors begin as early as three quarters of the day progression, fog and the absence of sunlight are much less pronounced to increase visibility at the day's end. Around noon, the brightness of the sunlight generally increases. Yet at any point in the day, when a leader nears an incomplete hole from above ground, the lighting always mixes a very foggy green color to its current color. Background shadow textures are more detailed, and [[wikipedia:Crepuscular ray|crepuscular rays]] can often be seen in between the shadows of branches. All objects are shaded by this sunlight, but most of them (including static objects) cast inaccurate circular shadows directly below them. Unlike the shadows in ''Pikmin'', objects actually receive these shadows, and their simple shape allows many shadows to be rendered at once. Some shadows define the circle around which Pikmin gather to carry something irregularly shaped. Several objects have unique shadows for specific reasons, such as:


*{{boulder}} [[Boulder]]s, as they fall from the sky.

*{{icon|Waterwraith|y}}, since its rollers appear from the sky before its body.
*{{icon|Waterwraith|y}}, since its rollers appear from the sky before its body.


All other forms of light are still texture-based, and do not produce any realistic light. Objects also do not reflect light realistically, still using a texture to represent glossiness. However, transparent lenses like [[water]], the [[Crystallized Emotion Series]], and the [[Stupendous Lens]] realistically calculate light refraction by distorting the image behind them.
[[Areas]] have background shadows that are large textures, just like in the previous game, and these shadows sway but do not effect shading in any way. However, now that plants either cast their own shadows or none at all, background shadows do not have to account for the locations of plants in the area, and can add more interest to the look of the environment.
 
{{game help|p2|Confirm if the Solar System truly has no effect on the final sublevel of Dream Den.}}
In [[cave]]s, light is very limited, and sometimes completely absent beyond a certain distance, due to very dark distance fog. Objects are still shaded by some dynamic light to give them depth, but they are barely or not visible until a [[leader]] comes close enough with the static area light around them. This static light's radius, color, and brightness vary by sublevel, depending on what mood is being set. Once the [[Solar System]] is obtained, however, caves are always fully illuminated and everything is visible. Some sublevels behave this way anyway, such as metal or outdoor areas where backgrounds are visible, and the [[Glutton's Kitchen#Sublevel 6|final sublevel of the Glutton's Kitchen]]. The Solar System does not affect the final sublevel of the [[Dream Den]], and actually darkens the final sublevel of the [[Cavern of Chaos]] as explained [[Gear#Cavern of Chaos 10|here]].


In [[caves]], objects are still shaded relative to a "sunlight" lamp, but the lamp does not illuminate objects. Instead, an area lamp around the current leader illuminates a small radius, meaning only so much of a sublevel can be seen at a time. Once the [[Stellar Orb#Solar System|Solar System]] is obtained, the cave is fully illuminated and this area lamp is no longer used. The color of the area and sun lamps varies by cave, depending on what mood the cave is trying to set. Sublevels with visible backgrounds, like the metal sublevels in the [[Subterranean Complex]], are always fully  illuminated, as is the final sublevel of the [[Glutton's Kitchen]] and most caves in [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]]. In addition, some objects are visibly illuminated even when there is no light hitting them (as a result of how their lighting is programmed), such as:
The [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 2)|Piklopedia]] in ''Pikmin 2'' is unique in that it simulates a full continuous cycle of lighting including nighttime. During night lighting, ambient light is very dim and darkly blue. Objects still remain shaded and cast simple shadows, but generally colors are darker and duller. Once morning comes around sunlight gradually increases fog color advances from blue to purple back to a faint green, when sunlight finally brings the color balance back to its usual daylight look.

===''Pikmin 3''===
===''Pikmin 3''===
The [[Wii U]] can process a great deal more data about lighting 3D objects than the [[GameCube]], and so [[Pikmin 3|''Pikmin 3'']] presents a much more accurate representation of physical lighting. All objects in ''Pikmin 3'' cast accurately shaped shadows, including the terrain itself. However, these shadows and lights do not follow the sun depicted in the sky. Sunlight in ''Pikmin 3'' remains the same bright yellow for most of a day, and only changes to a dim orange at the last portion of the day. Shadows only start elongating to reflect this change with seconds left in the day, and they elongate at an extremely fast rate. The reason for keeping shadows consistently underneath objects is most likely to keep depth and location easy to recognize. Background shadows now dynamically shade objects in an environment, and their movement behaves similarly to in-game objects' shadows.
The [[Wii U]] can process a great deal more data about lighting 3D objects than the [[GameCube]], and so [[Pikmin 3|''Pikmin 3'']] presents a much more accurate representation of physical lighting. All objects in ''Pikmin 3'' cast accurately shaped shadows, including the terrain itself. However, these shadows and lights do not follow the sun depicted in the sky; instead, shadows stay directly under objects for a majority of the day, so that object locations (particularly with airborne objects) can more easily be perceived. A new innovation ''Pikmin 3'' brings is that background shadows, while they are still large textures, actually ''do'' affect the shading of other objects, even as they sway throughout the day. This minor detail greatly enhances the realistic look of the environment.
Although no other lights in the game cast shadows (shadows in caves remain directly under objects), many lights can now cast diffuse and specular highlights on objects, and objects have [[wikipedia:Bump mapping|bump mapping]] which allows area lights to be seen. [[Electrode]]s light up the inside of a cave, leaders' beacons and whistles dimly illuminate a radius around them, and most lighting effects (such as [[bomb rock]] explosions) throw realistically calculated light onto other objects. In addition, objects themselves now simulate a variety of interactions with light, such as realistically reflecting a world environment (or with the [[Plasm Wraith]], dynamically reflecting images of the leaders and Pikmin), refracting light with realistic transparency, and [[wikipedia:Subsurface scattering|subsurface scattering]]. Water also calculates realistic reflections, refractions, and caustics on the ground.


During rainy days, sunlight is generally darker. Rough specular highlights are more pronounced and smooth surfaces have a procedural glossiness to them, to simulate wetness.
In caves, shadows are also directly under all objects. During rainy days, sunlight is generally darker, and rough surfaces have sharper highlights and smooth surfaces are glossy, to simulate wetness.


===Camera Effects===
Although no other lights in the game than sunlight cast shadows, almost all other light sources are dynamic. [[Electrode]]s highlight cave surfaces, leaders' beacons and whistles dimly illuminate a radius around them, and most lighting effects (such as [[bomb rock]] explosions) throw accurate light onto other objects. Once again, all these effects give ''Pikmin 3'' a photorealistic edge while still not seriously detracting from gameplay or visibility.
In all three games, the camera through which the player views the game is imperfect, and especially bright lights have effects on it.
*In ''Pikmin'', bright lights have a halo of glare around them; Olimar's [[spacesuit]] beacon in particular creates light streaks, as do some particles produced by the [[S.S. Dolphin]] and [[Onion]]s.
*In ''Pikmin 2'', this effect is reintroduced and adds flare artifacts to the [[Hocotate ship]]'s exhaust. The [[Piklopedia]] also uses a different kind of camera that shows glare even on particularly bright highlights of objects, and zooms with an adaptive depth of field.
*In ''Pikmin 3'', camera imperfections are much more pronounced. Lighting is additive, so any source of light can produce intense glare if added to a brightly illuminated object. Most lights in the game produce artifacts on the camera lens, with the sun flare being the most prominent. The camera also constantly has a shallow depth of field (objects far in the distance are blurry), similar to how a real macrophotography camera would behave.

==Materials==
Lesser Mock Bottom Garden of Hope.jpg|An example of a sun lens-flare in the [[Garden of Hope]].
The [[Pikmin series]]'s in-game objects are made real-world materials, or at least materials similar to those in real life. As such, they try to emulate the interactions with light real-world materials would have. Although these properties are more often faked than accurately calculated, materials allow players a sense of how in-game objects would feel, which gives them more thematic identity. Below is a list of material properties simulated in Pikmin materials, and some prominent examples.

===Diffuse reflection===
Plasmoli.jpg|The Plasm Wraith realistically reflects leaders and Pikmin.
Diffuse surfaces have visibly or even microscopically rough imperfections, so that when light rays hit the surface, it bounce off in many directions instead of one, ''diffusing'' the illumination over a large area. Due to the limits of the GameCube's power, most organic objects in ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'' (such as Pikmin and most enemies) have a smooth, matte-like material that does not reflect light sharply. In ''Pikmin 3'', materials meant to look rubbery, dirty, or skin-like will look diffuse.

Lighting

Lighting is the arrangement or effect of objects that produce light, in order to depict a lit environment with depth and color. In video games, this specifically refers to any calculated light source that illuminates and shades 3D objects, as well as fog that obscures distant objects. In the Pikmin series, lighting is extremely important to achieving realistic-looking environments and objects, as the designers try to create as much realism in the Pikmin world as possible.

In this article:

  • "Light" is any object, seen or unseen, that illuminates an environment.
  • "Dynamic" lights are lights that move or cause visible highlights or reflections on objects, while
  • "Static" lights are lights that simply add brightness to an area without interacting with other objects.
  • "Shading" is the contrast of color on an object because one side of it is illuminated by a light.
  • "Shadows" are shapes of low light on a surface, created when an object stands in between light rays and that surface.
  • "Materials" are the compositions of objects that interact with light in different ways.

Light sources

Sunlight is the primary source of light in the Pikmin series, and plays an important role in conveying the passage of a day. When a day begins, the color and brightness of a landscape try to suggest morning. As the day progresses, the sun gets brighter and the environment more colorful, until late in the day when it begins setting and colors become more orange as in a sunset. Each game in the series has a unique way of handling sunlight and the shadows it casts, and as the games progress, this arrangement gets closer to simulating real sunlight.

Pikmin

The only dynamic light is sunlight, that shades all objects but does not actually calculate shadows. This light moves throughout the day, beginning foggy and bright in the morning, clear and at average brightness for the majority of the day, and fading to yellow to orange and finally to very little light as sunset approaches (except in The Forest Navel; sunlight is still present there but does not move or change color). All objects in an area have shading based on this light, but none of the scenery casts real moving shadows based on this light. To help players perceive Pikmin locations, up to 50 Pikmin will cast soft shadows that move throughout the day, even when there is no sunlight. In order to optimize processing power, shadows cast by Pikmin are not drawn if more than 51 Pikmin are on the field; instead, they will all have faint shadows directly underneath them. Enemies always have this sort of faint shadow, except for the Beady Long Legs. Environmental objects like plants never move on the map, so one large texture accounts for all their shadows. The exception is Pellet Posies, which cast soft dynamic shadows just like Pikmin.

All other forms of light, such as Common Glowcaps, the light beams coming from the Onions, and even the light around Captain Olimar in The Forest Navel, are static lights. They do not cast any shading or shadows on objects, but simply brighten the area around them to aid visibility or provide light effects, such as the powerful exhaust from the S.S. Dolphin.

Pikmin 2

Sunlight in Pikmin 2 behaves very similarly to that in the previous game, except the color of sunlight varies by area, and fog is generally less pronounced. Around noon, the brightness of the sunlight generally increases, and toward the end of the day it dramatically decreases and turns orange. Yet at any point in the day, when a leader approaches an incomplete cave from above ground, the lighting always mixes a very foggy green color to its current color. All objects are shaded by this sunlight, but most of them (including static objects) do not cast accurate shadows. Instead, most moving objects cast circular shadows directly beneath them, and those shadows never move. However, unlike the shadows in Pikmin, these circular shadows can actually dim other objects, and their simple shape allows many shadows to be rendered at once. Several objects have uniquely shaped shadows for specific reasons, such as:

Areas have background shadows that are large textures, just like in the previous game, and these shadows sway but do not effect shading in any way. However, now that plants either cast their own shadows or none at all, background shadows do not have to account for the locations of plants in the area, and can add more interest to the look of the environment.


The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who plays Pikmin 2.
Particularly: Confirm if the Solar System truly has no effect on the final sublevel of Dream Den.

In caves, light is very limited, and sometimes completely absent beyond a certain distance, due to very dark distance fog. Objects are still shaded by some dynamic light to give them depth, but they are barely or not visible until a leader comes close enough with the static area light around them. This static light's radius, color, and brightness vary by sublevel, depending on what mood is being set. Once the Solar System is obtained, however, caves are always fully illuminated and everything is visible. Some sublevels behave this way anyway, such as metal or outdoor areas where backgrounds are visible, and the final sublevel of the Glutton's Kitchen. The Solar System does not affect the final sublevel of the Dream Den, and actually darkens the final sublevel of the Cavern of Chaos as explained here.

The Piklopedia in Pikmin 2 is unique in that it simulates a full continuous cycle of lighting including nighttime. During night lighting, ambient light is very dim and darkly blue. Objects still remain shaded and cast simple shadows, but generally colors are darker and duller. Once morning comes around sunlight gradually increases fog color advances from blue to purple back to a faint green, when sunlight finally brings the color balance back to its usual daylight look.

Pikmin 3

The Wii U can process a great deal more data about lighting 3D objects than the GameCube, and so Pikmin 3 presents a much more accurate representation of physical lighting. All objects in Pikmin 3 cast accurately shaped shadows, including the terrain itself. However, these shadows and lights do not follow the sun depicted in the sky; instead, shadows stay directly under objects for a majority of the day, so that object locations (particularly with airborne objects) can more easily be perceived. A new innovation Pikmin 3 brings is that background shadows, while they are still large textures, actually do affect the shading of other objects, even as they sway throughout the day. This minor detail greatly enhances the realistic look of the environment.

In caves, shadows are also directly under all objects. During rainy days, sunlight is generally darker, and rough surfaces have sharper highlights and smooth surfaces are glossy, to simulate wetness.

Although no other lights in the game than sunlight cast shadows, almost all other light sources are dynamic. Electrodes highlight cave surfaces, leaders' beacons and whistles dimly illuminate a radius around them, and most lighting effects (such as bomb rock explosions) throw accurate light onto other objects. Once again, all these effects give Pikmin 3 a photorealistic edge while still not seriously detracting from gameplay or visibility.

Materials

The Pikmin series's in-game objects are made real-world materials, or at least materials similar to those in real life. As such, they try to emulate the interactions with light real-world materials would have. Although these properties are more often faked than accurately calculated, materials allow players a sense of how in-game objects would feel, which gives them more thematic identity. Below is a list of material properties simulated in Pikmin materials, and some prominent examples.

Diffuse reflection

Diffuse surfaces have visibly or even microscopically rough imperfections, so that when light rays hit the surface, it bounce off in many directions instead of one, diffusing the illumination over a large area. Due to the limits of the GameCube's power, most organic objects in Pikmin and Pikmin 2 (such as Pikmin and most enemies) have a smooth, matte-like material that does not reflect light sharply. In Pikmin 3, materials meant to look rubbery, dirty, or skin-like will look diffuse.

Notes

Pikmin – enemy reel
“This nocturnal hunter feeds mostly on small animals returning to their nests at night.”
Pikmin 2 – Olimar's notes – GameCube version
“This large organism has the familiar mandibles and cranial morphology of the grub-dog family, as well as the characteristic bulging eyes. As with most grub-dogs, the creature's cranium comprises half of its total length and girth. Showing a scarlet abdomen with white spots, this creature is primarily nocturnal, choosing to prey upon smaller creatures returning to their nests. Originally classified as the spotty bulborb, further research has reclassified this species as the red bulborb. Subspecies of varied colors have recently been discovered, but academics are divided into two rival camps over how to handle their classification.”

Hey! Pikmin – logs
“The S.S. Dolphin II said it sleeps during the day, but the one I met was awake. I pointed this out and the ship said, "I meant during the day on Hocotate." After defeating it, we found an object rich in Sparklium. It's possible that the creature considers such objects a delicacy.”
Pikmin 3 Deluxe – Alph's comment
“Structural flaws: eyestalks, back / Weight: 10 / Only a very confident designer would waive through issues like bright red warning coloration and a tendency to sleep in broad daylight. There's no way a frontal assault on this thing would work, so we have to get creative. I'm thinking we should hit its back hard while it sleeps, or maybe targeting those thin-looking eyestalks.”
Pikmin 3 Deluxe – Brittany's comment
“The white polka dots on red is quite a look. Something about it is familiar, but where- Ah. Right. It reminds me of the captain. Not the polka dots- I mean the way it snores as it naps in the sun.”
Pikmin 3 Deluxe – Charlie's comment – US version
“This red bruiser gobbles up Pikmin like candy. The standard approach is to attack from behind while it's still asleep. That may seem callous, but it would do the same to you if it could. Stow those feelings and strike!”
