Thank you!
My reply for this would be that, for people that are well informed/experienced on this topic (rendering, visual effects, lighting etc.), it's obvious that my question would sound silly/stupid, cuz it is. If I had enough knowledge on said topic I wouldn't have asked it like that, would I?
Like I said before, I just really like how this stuff looks like, so I asked a question that I thought would help me go down a road, to find an answer/explanation.
For your statement on that knowing the shader's name matters or not, I would say that it matters. First of all, different shaders gonna have different effects/settings (or just do more range of things), cuz if they wouldn't have, then, there wouldn't be a reason to have different shaders to begin with. Second, knowing the shader's name would allow me to do research on that, and learn about it, after learning what that shader is capable of, then realizing that, just alone that is not enough to achieve what I want, I would start going after the next thing e.g. lighting and learn about that, and so on till I learn the full thing. It's obvious that rendering is a complicated thing, so wouldn't it make sense to try to learn it in pieces?
But hey, what do I know? I jerk off to anime girls and start conversations on a website that is using my 2nd language.
On a side note though, I appreciate any replies that I get, cuz I don't have any connections or experience on topics that I ask questions online. What I mean is, that I learn better/faster when I'm personally involved with things, it could be a blessing sometimes (like irl physical stuff), but it's a curse when it comes to e.g. software.
Lastly, there are parts of this reply that are in "aggressive-ish" tone, my reason for that is, cuz I felt that your reply had some of it too. Have a nice rest of the day!
