using a different texture for each vertex in the mesh :)
Same pigment, diffuse 0, and an ambient-value to simulate gouraud-shading.

...and the phong-shaded version :)

Very interesting. I think it's a great way to explain Gouraud and Phong 
shading to people who are new to Computer Graphics. All in all, great work!

BTW, Phong shading gives much less artifacts and looks better overall 
(IMHO). I didn't know that for sure but now it makes perfect sense.

Regards!
