Members

Member Value Description
Phong 3 Not supported.
Gouraud 2 Gouraud shading mode. The color and specular components of the face are determined by a linear interpolation between all three of the triangle's vertices.
Flat 1 Flat shading mode. The color and specular component of the first vertex in the triangle are used to determine the color and specular component of the face. These colors remain constant across the triangle; that is, they are not interpolated. The specular alpha is interpolated.

Remarks

The first vertex of a triangle for flat shading mode is defined in the following manner.

  • For a Triangle Lists, the first vertex of the triangle i is i * 3.
  • For a Triangle Strips, the first vertex of the triangle i is vertex i.
  • For a Triangle Fans, the first vertex of the triangle i is vertex i + 1.
