I seem to recall reading about it in one of the demo code articles floating about at the time, similar to this one[1]. But Quake is the one that stuck with me for some reason, and it's easy to link to.
Abrash was a prominent and prolific writer at the time (in addition to be an excellent coder). That might have helped enough to make that example stick for folks.
But also worth noting that that article is dated one year after quake, two years after descent.
Also, lysator... there's a name I haven't heard in a while! Thanks for reminding me.
