Bob, 3dfx has patented multitexturing, not just their own version of multitexturing. The concept is extremely broad. It would be like 3dfx patenting real-time shadows.

There will be backlash if 3dfx pushes the issue here, but I'm not sure what the other companies can do about it. On the other hand, screw the other guys, business is business!
