Each triangular face will be rendered with a uniform shade that depends on its angle to the light. To get smoother shading that depends on vertex normals, check this box.
Vertex normals are saved to file formats that support them, producing the illusion of a smoother surface. To get a more faceted appearance, uncheck this box.
Click here to change the color of the material. This color is used in the main editing window, and is also the color used when no texture map is available.
