Discussion

This shading model is based on Lambert’s Law of diffuse reflectance, calculating the color of a point on a surface with the following formula:

color = ambient * al + diffuse * max(0, dot(N, L))

The ambient and diffuse terms refer to the material’s properties. The other terms are as follows:

al

The sum of all ambient lights in the scene (a color).

N

The surface normal vector at the point being shaded, as supplied by the geometry’s vertex data, interpolated between vertices, and possibly modified by the material’s normal property.

L

The (normalized) vector from the point being shaded to the light source.
