We already have a terms for "gradients that are not meant to be interpreted as lighting", we call them "optical illusions" and they're immensely confusing to the visual system.
- Camillo 13y agoDon't be silly, there are all sorts of gradients in nature that have nothing to do with lighting.
- boronine 13y agoLike what? I honestly can't think of a single example.
- frogpelt 13y agoYou can't think of a single object that isn't a uniform color? How about flowers? Rocks? Fruit? Animals? Try harder.
- hahainternet 13y agoOther than animal skins, the examples given seem to be dominated by lighting.
- mturmon 13y agoBesides the examples mentioned by others, gradients can arise due to look angle. For instance, looking upon a field of mixed grass and dirt from straight above versus 10 feet towards the horizon will yield a gradient from green/brown to totally green. There are lots of similar examples, for example, look at a mixed asphalt/composite road stretching off into the distance.
