To be honest mate, I couldn't care less. The article wasn't aimed at people like you. So there's no point in all that "pretentious shithead" stuff, leave it out man. At rasterisation where the shading model comes into effect, I was explaining that. It wasn't a massively-technically-anally-correct article, one merely written to give the less knowledgeable an insight into how these things work. Read forums, and all you'll read is things like "OMFG TEH BUMP MAPPING" and they have no knowledge of what's involved. This article was written for that purpose only. An article in-depth into mathematics would have no place on a gaming site (which is my primary interest) and it'd only turn people off the site, because uber-geeks like you are sadly in the minority.
