![Screenshot of Blender Shader tab. As described in [Mitchell et al. 2007], the process is as follows: ((albedo/texture * (shading + ambient)) + (specular + rimlights)).
Some compromises were implemented, such as the use of multiple color ramps to adjust the rim lights, specular colors and ambient lighting. It also means that they don't automatically change depending on the environment; these have to be changed manually.
