what exactly does D. PERKINSON mean when he says this:

" Our Xbox player model will feature bump-mapped textures "

Re: hey graphics guru\'s.......

bump mapping is a way of making things look bumpy without them actually being bumpy. Imagine that you have a flat plane (square)... there's no geometry inside that square to move up or down... it's just a flat square. If you put a bump-map on it, though, when it's rendered it will look bumpy.

That's my take on it at least.
