| | It took me longer than necessary to understand how a rotation transform matrix rotates a vector through three-dimensional space. Not because it's a difficult concept but because it is often poorly explained in textbooks. Even the most explanatory book might derive the matrix for a rotation around one axis (e.g., x) but then present the other two matrices without showing their derivation. I'll explain my own understanding of their derivation in hopes that it will enlighten others that didn't catch on right away.

| | When you read BRDF theory papers, you'll often see mention of slope space. Sometimes, components of the BRDF such as NDFs or masking-shadowing functions are defined in slope space, or operations are done in slope space before being converted back to ordinary vectors or polar coordinates. However, the meaning and intuition of slope space is rarely explained. Since it may not be obvious exactly what slope space is, why it is useful, or how to transform things to and from it, I thought I would write down a ...

| Since 2007 when I started using Ubuntu I have been doing upgrades to the latest version a month before the release. Yes I am a sucker for pain.
