Welcome back ! Today, we’re going to dive into another classic material: MeshPhongMaterial . This material is like the "old reliable" of Three.js —it’s been around for a while, but it’s still incredibly useful for creating shiny, reflective surfaces. Best of all, it’s beginner-friendly and easy to use. Let’s get started! ## What is MeshPhongMaterial ? MeshPhongMaterial is a material that simulates shiny, reflective surfaces using a technique called Phong shading . Unlike MeshBasicMaterial , which ignores lighting, MeshPhongMaterial reacts to lights in your scene, allowing you to create effects like specular highlights (those bright spots you see on shiny objects). Think of it like this: if MeshBasicMaterial is a plain sheet of paper, MeshPhongMaterial is a glossy magazine cover. It’s perfect for creating objects like plastic, metal, or anything with a bit of shine.
