[Bf-committers] renderpipeline - coordinates

[Brecht Van Lommel]

Hi,

All vertex/halo/strand coordinates are already in camera space, except
when obi->flag & R_TRANSFORMED is set, in which case they need to be
multiplied with obi->mat (for instancing). Shading is done in camera
space, and lamps have camera space coordinates too.
