Summary
Step 1: Specific characteristics of the Flat Background
A Flat Background is different from a 3D Background. A 3D background is realistic, with shadows and reflections on the background itself. A Flat Background, on the other hand, is uniform and reflects nothing.
As a result, lights in scenes with Flat Background react differently from those in scenes with 3D Background.
The advantage of Flat Background is that it provides a uniformly colored background where lights are not reflected.
If you'd like to know more about the lights to choose for all backgrounds and their different moods, please consult the dedicated article in our Omi Help Center.
