    A whole load of random questions

    OK, yet another one. 5. From my understanding, vertex lighting only affects the vertices of the polygon's which it acts upon. Is this true? In all actuality, wouldn't Phong lighting be more impressive? Thanks. :P

    OK, that answers a great deal. One more (I'll add it to the first post as well) 4. A low refresh rate on a CRT monitor is known to cause eyestrain for main users. Yet 60Hz on an LCD monitor is no problem. Why?

    How do you know...what you know?

    I thought this would be the relevant place to ask. Where did you learn everything you know about graphics? I'm fairly proficient in general PC hardware, including videocards themselves. I, like so many others, am completely self taught by reading numerous sites and articles across the...
