The Gouraud Shaded With Edges Tool alters the 3D rendering mode. Gouraud shading is a method used in computer graphics to simulate the differing effects of light and color across the surface of an object. In practice, Gouraud shading is used to achieve smooth lighting on low-polygon surfaces without the heavy computational requirements of calculating lighting for each pixel.

 

This tool incorporates the Gouraud shading technique with visible object edge lines.
