When the Atari VCS gaming system ( whose name was coined as a takeoff of the VES ) was released a year later, it had considerably better graphics and sound.

When used in computer graphics to render scenes composed of planar polygons, the partitioning planes are frequently ( but not always ) chosen to coincide with the planes defined by polygons in the scene.

When the color is represented as RGB values, as often is the case in computer graphics, this equation is typically modeled separately for R, G and B intensities, allowing different reflections constants and for the different color channels.
