Environment lighting refers to the technique of illuminating a 3D scene or virtual environment using ambient light sources, often derived from HDR images or skyboxes, to create realistic reflections, shadows, and mood in computer graphics. It's a key concept in 3D rendering, game development, and visual effects, used by artists and technical directors in software like Unreal Engine, Unity, Blender, and Maya. Proper environment lighting greatly affects the realism and atmosphere of rendered scenes.
