  I think they did. It just doesn't look like it because the change in
slope is so sharp (the slope changes abruptly from 30 degrees to 0 degrees,
creating a sharp change in lighting).

  Meshes also have the advantage that you can modify individual vertex points,
approximate nonlinear transformations, etc.
