Shading (cont...)
Phong
- Similar to Gouraud shading
- Produces highlights that provide an impression of a surface's shininess ('specular reflection')
Radiosity
- High quality shading, which takes into account direct/indirect light, reflections and shadows
- Current computer hardware technology is too slow to do high-quality real-time ray-tracing
- Can precompute radiosity to add greater lighting realism to a virtual environment
