Phong Shading Project

Description

This project demonstrates the implementation of Phong shading, a technique used to achieve realistic 3D shading by applying the Phong reflection model. The scene includes a single light source illuminating two spheres made of various materials. The materials used in this project include:

• Metallic
• Pearl
• Bronze
• Polished Bronze
• Gold
• Chrome
• Wooden

Additionally, the project showcases two spheres with different lighting properties:

• One sphere with minimum diffuse lighting and maximum specular lighting.
• Another sphere with minimum specular lighting and maximum diffuse lighting.
