Abstract
In the previous chapter, we defined a shader that produced a constant color. Typically, the color of a surface will be dependent upon a number of factors—its shape, where it is, images that are used to define its color, and, as we’ll see in the next part of the book, Light, how the color of the surface can be represented by a simulation of the physics of illumination.
