Light and shade

A node of the Style graph, in the Passes group.

Light and shade turns the light into a step on each pixel's colour ramp. It is a group of atoms you have too, in order: Light bands (the band of the key light each pixel falls in, dithered at the edges, held across frames near an edge), World light (lamps, wave lines, cloud shadows, light shafts, shore foam), Highlights, Glow, Ramp shifts (and the colour cycle), then Shading colours, which turns the shading into colours. The wire between them carries a shading: each pixel's ramp and its step on it.

How it fits with the rest: the Style graph in the manual.
