Shading
Shading is a mode in which the objects of a model are rendered in plain colors. The objects are colored according to the colors of their materials. The glass surfaces are transparent. This is the default presentation method of the model.
If Show textures is selected in graphics settings, the textures of materials are also displayed.
Other render styles include wire frame model and zebra shading.
