Hi,
	I've just started looking into writing some 3D stuff and I'm stuck.

	I need a way to retrieving the vertex NORMALS of an object after the
	object has been rotated.

	I can think of two ways of two ways that I could do this :-

	a) Manually rotate the original normals using a derived rotation matrix 
	   and store them in an array.

	b) Get the rotated vertex normals (as created by GsSortObject4) out of
the packet data area.


	Has anyone any ideas???

		Thanks ,
