In brief glance, that's some excellent stuff!

That looks hilariously useful. Do us a huge favour while you're at it and add the link to this thread (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=109&t=146400) in "graphics programming". I don't want to steal the credit for this find and it will be very useful given the number of people who ask about this kind of thing. :thumbsup:

This is really excellent tutorial...Always I want to understand how CG programs work, what are the underlying ideas they are built upon.

Thanks a lot...

Wow! What a fantastic resource! Thanks to Jean-Colas Prunier and his colleagues, as well as Pascal for informing us here at CG Talk.

5 stars and plug! :bowdown:
Jokes apart, this is fresh, understandable and correct.
A real treasure, imo.
