 Because the camera is facing the negative ``z`` direction, the position will have a negative ``z`` value.
 In order to get a usable depth value, we have to negate ``view.z``.
 
-The world position can be constructed from the depth buffer using the following code. Note
-that the ``INV_VIEW_MATRIX`` is needed to transform the position from view space into world space, so
-it needs to be passed to the fragment shader with a varying.

+Once we add a line to output to ``ALBEDO``, we have a complete shader that looks something like this. 
+This shader lets you visualize the linear depth or world space coordinates, depending on which
