Re: [Algorithms] View culling example

[Klaus H. <k_h...@os...>]

That's a *very* nice sample, Michael.

However, I would prefer if you didn't name that culling method after me,
because I didn't invent it :) I also had a look at the source and saw 'tons'
of "swHartmann" variables in there... even in the plane extraction, which
was 'invented' by Gil Gribb. Also, I would prefer if you didn't mention my
e-mail address in the source code :)

So, please remove my name as well as my e-mail address from the source. Of
course, you may mention me in the header and maybe write something like
"Parts of this source code are based on Klaus Hartmann's AABB-Culling
sample", but that's enough. Don't give me too much credit for something I
didn't invent. I only reused existing algorithms, and put them into a small
sample.

Thanks,
Niki

PS: I didn't take this off-line, because I'm sure that some people on this
list will download the source. I think they should know that it wasn't me
who invented these nice algorithms.

culling example from the OpenGL FAQ, Klaus Hartmann's view culling sample
and merged them both with Nate Robbin's OpenGL tutors (mostly because his
projection sample really helped me to see what was going on with the various
culling examples out there).
