Hi guys, i’m progressing slightly further on my maxscript exporter, and i’m now onto tangents and binormals. I’m aware that they are used for normal mapping, but to be honest, thats all i really know about them.
If someone has the time, can someone give me a quick explanation of how these work, and maybe a quick guide how to derive them through maxscript?
Thank you for your time.
p.s. if they are in the helpfile and i’m missing it, bobo i apologize
You may try the Tech Artist Wiki for some information on it. You could also try a google search for “binormal shading”. It will return a lot of game dev information, but you may be able to extract what you need from there.
