Objective 8:
Phong Model using Vertex Normal Interpolation on Triangles

 

For Vertex Normal Interpolation, I import vertex normals from OBJ files, and use Barycentric Gouraud-style interpolation across the face of the imported triangle. The result is a very nice, smooth mesh rendering that is much more aesthetically pleasing and professional than the faceted look.
