Camera, Lighting, and Render Setting Guide

Global Illumination - The practical question around Global Illumination is what evidence would make another reviewer agree with the same decision. Global Illumination (全局照明 / グローバルイルミネーション) should be tied to the exact part of beauty render, AOV package, EXR sequence, comp plate, or color-managed output that it changes. Record the setting, reviewer, and proof artifact so the term is not reduced to a loose label. Use the note to decide whether the asset is ready, blocked, or waiting for a narrower specialist pass.

Path Tracing - Treat Path Tracing as a production checkpoint: it should narrow the review, not decorate the page with another synonym. Path Tracing (路径追踪 / パストレーシング) needs a before-and-after note when it changes the asset. The accepted evidence should be small enough for another reviewer to reopen without rebuilding the whole scene. If that proof cannot be attached, the term should remain in review rather than be treated as covered.

Tone Mapping - Tone Mapping should be read through 渲染, not as a loose label in a translation sheet. Tone Mapping (色调映射 / トーンマッピング) can be translated safely only after the production meaning is known. Keep the English label visible when it is also a UI label, plug-in name, or channel name. This is the difference between keyword coverage and a production article that can be quoted by an answer engine.

Area Light - When 区域光 or エリアライト appears in a review note, the English term still needs the file state beside it. Area Light (区域光 / エリアライト) belongs to lighting intent. Keep the light rig, contribution test, shadow behavior, exposure note, and final render proof so the term explains an observable lighting decision. The translation is therefore tied to evidence, not to an isolated glossary row.

Point Light - Point Light becomes useful only when the reviewer can point to the part of beauty render, AOV package, EXR sequence, comp plate, or color-managed output that it changes. Point Light (点光源 / ポイントライト) belongs to lighting intent. Keep the light rig, contribution test, shadow behavior, exposure note, and final render proof so the term explains an observable lighting decision. That keeps the article searchable while still giving lighting artist, render wrangler, or compositor something concrete to approve.

Spot Light - For a vendor-facing brief, Spot Light is the anchor term and the localized labels explain the same inspected state. Spot Light (聚光灯 / スポットライト) belongs to lighting intent. Keep the light rig, contribution test, shadow behavior, exposure note, and final render proof so the term explains an observable lighting decision. Use the note to decide whether the asset is ready, blocked, or waiting for a narrower specialist pass.

Directional Light - The practical question around Directional Light is what evidence would make another reviewer agree with the same decision. Directional Light (平行光 / ディレクショナルライト) belongs to lighting intent. Keep the light rig, contribution test, shadow behavior, exposure note, and final render proof so the term explains an observable lighting decision. If that proof cannot be attached, the term should remain in review rather than be treated as covered.

Depth Pass - Treat Depth Pass as a production checkpoint: it should narrow the review, not decorate the page with another synonym. Depth Pass (深度通道 / 深度パス) needs a before-and-after note when it changes the asset. The accepted evidence should be small enough for another reviewer to reopen without rebuilding the whole scene. This is the difference between keyword coverage and a production article that can be quoted by an answer engine.
