Normal mapping is like what texture mapping would be if it actually lived up to its name. Time to learn about tangent space and other such weird things, I guess.
Topics Covered
Part 1
- Normal mapping motivation / goal
- Texture alignment
- RGB encoding of normal vectors
Errata
In Part 1, Chili decodes the z component of the normal map by mapping from 0..1 => 0..1 directly, but this mapping is not common, nor is it correct for the map we are using. All channels should be mapped with 0..1 => -1..+1. This will be corrected in Part 2. It is true that the z channel will never be less than zero in a proper (tangent space) normal map, but it does not seem to be common to use this unused range to expand the dynamic range of the z channel encoding.
