hi.
I’m using normal maps without PS but I have a little bug. I don’t know where it comes from. the UV tangents seems to be good.
here is a shot:

thanks for your help

It looks loke you need to smooth your tangent base on verticies which are shared among several polygons.

@Edgar: Can you tell me, how i properly calculate binormals and tangents for a vertex, when i have a vertex-normal instead of a face normal?
The only information i have are the normal, binormal and tangent for the current polygon and the vertex-normal of the current vertex i process.
Now i want to change the tangent and binormal, to be correct for that shared vertex.
@Cedric: To calculate vertex-normals, just find all triangles that share one vertex. Then add all face-normals of those triangles together and normalize the resulting vector. This is the vertex-normal for that particular vertex.
Repeat that step for all vertices in your model.
For bumpmapping to look right you have to calculate a tangent and binormal for every vertex, which takes that vertex-normal into consideration.
That´s the point where i got stuck at the moment.
Jan.
you were right Edgar. Thanks for your help.
