Shading and two type of shading flat shading and gauraud.
Where gouraud shading interpolates colors by averaging between the vertices, phong shading averages each pixel based on the colors of the pixels adjacent to it. Since this color is passed to the fragment shader as an in varying variable, it is interpolated across the fragments thus giving the smooth shading. Of these, the first two are used in games consoles. The first stage in the process is the same as for the gouraud shading for any polygon we evaluate the vertex normals.
This should not be confused with the phong reflection model also called phong lighting, which computes the surface lighting by an ambient, a diffuse, and a specular term as.
