 When a mesh uses flat shading, the faces are rendered and displayed faces uniformly.
 This is usually desirable for objects with flat surfaces such as a cube or pyramid.

+When a mesh uses smooth shading, the normals are interpolated across the vertices of a polygonal mesh,
 smooth transitions between adjacent polygons can be achieved, resulting in a more realistic appearance.
 
 By default face normals have flat shading however, this can be adjusted either for the whole object or per face.
