Lighting and Shading
Topic		Author	Description
	A Closer Look At Parallax Occlusion Mapping [Added: 6/28/2006]	Jason Zink	Presents a guide to parallax occlusion mapping as well as a sample implementation.
	Cel-Shading [Added: 7/13/2001]	Sami Hamlaoui	Provides an introduction to cel-shading, a technique for creating cartoon-like images using conventional 3D methods.
	Fast Phong Shading (OTMPHONG.DOC) [Added: 7/16/1999]
	Fast Phong Shading by Gary Bishop [Added: 7/16/1999]
	Gouraud [Added: 7/16/1999]
	Gouraud Shaded Polygons [Added: 7/16/1999]
	High Dynamic Range Environment Mapping On Mainstream Graphics Hardware [Added: 2/22/2005]	Adam Lake and Cody Northrop Intel® Software Solution Group (SSG) Modern Game Technologies Project	This article discusses the capture, storage, and display of high dynamic range images.
	Light Based Tessellation [Added: 10/11/2001]	Jeff Andrews	Light Based Tessellation technology is used for adding enhanced lighting effects to three-dimensional objects. Current lighting algorithms operate only on each vertex of a polygon in order to create lighting effects. By tessellating (breaking up) a polygon, more vertices will be created with which the lighting algorithms can work, thus producing better lighting effects.
	Phong Illumination Explained [Added: 8/23/1999]	Paul Nettle	Nettle explains Phong illumination in this article. (not phong shading)
	Phong Lighting and Specular Highlights [Added: 7/16/1999]
	Shaders and Metaprogramming [Added: 7/3/2007]	Promit Roy	Discusses how to robustly expose shader constant parameters from a .NET 2.0 application using the reflection and metaprogramming abilities of managed code
	Texture Shading by Tom Hammersley [Added: 7/16/1999]
