Hi,
One of our local SEs was talking to me about the smoke & mirrors demo that
we have on our O2s. It does what appear to be real-time reflections. He
said the SGI employee wrote a paper on how this was done, but he never
managed to get me a copy of it.
SGI folks: is this available somewhere? Or can we get the author to
explain it?
Thanks,
Jason
