Putting it all together : Phong Lighting model

Our final empirical illumination model is:

Notes:

  • Often used in Local illumination model

  • Once per light

  • Once per colour component

  • Reflectance coefficients function of colour

Reflectance coefficients, ka, kd, and ks may or may not vary with the colour component
If they do, you need to be careful.
