GLSL normal mapping
Welcome to the GLSL normal mapping tutorial.
Before we show you our implementation of the normal mapping algorithm, we would like to inform you about an essential difference between a Direct3D and an OpenGL normal map.

Direct3D normal map

OpenGL normal map
Notice the greenish pixels in both normal maps. The normal map used in this tutorial is a Direct3D normal map and before it can be mapped on triangles, it must be converted from Direc3D space to OpenGL space.
In a forward renderer we have two options how to calculate lighting. Either we transform the light direction vector from world (or view) space to tangent space, or we transform normal from normal map from tangent space to world (or view) space.
In a deferred renderer we have no choice but to convert normal from normal map from tangent space to world (or view) space.
We decided to transform normal from normal map because it's easier to implement and to understand. And also because it's usable in a deferred renderer.
The first step is to calculate the tangent and bitangent vectors per triangle.
for(int t = 0; t < 12; t++)
{
    int ia = t * 3, ib = ia + 1, ic = ib + 1;

    vec3 vdab = VertexArray[ib].Vertex - VertexArray[ia].Vertex;
    vec3 vdac = VertexArray[ic].Vertex - VertexArray[ia].Vertex;

    vec2 tcdab = VertexArray[ib].TexCoord - VertexArray[ia].TexCoord;
    vec2 tcdac = VertexArray[ic].TexCoord - VertexArray[ia].TexCoord;

    float r = 1.0f / (tcdab.x * tcdac.y - tcdab.y * tcdac.x);

    ...

    vec3 Tangent = normalize((vdab * tcdac.y  - vdac * tcdab.y) * r);
    vec3 Bitangent = normalize((vdac * tcdab.x  - vdab * tcdac.x) * r);

    ...
}
At this point we have 2 vectors of unit length perpendicular to each other. We didn't explicitly define normals, so we need to calculate normals per triangle too.
for(int t = 0; t < 12; t++)
{
    ...

    vec3 Normal = normalize(cross(vdab, vdac));

    ...
}
Now we have 3 vectors of unit length perpendicular to each other. The common practice is to provide this data per vertex. In this tutorial we render a simple rectangular prism object, so the tangent, bitangent and normal vectors are identical for all 3 vertices of a triangle.
for(int t = 0; t < 12; t++)
{
    ...

    VertexArray[ia].Normal = Normal;
    VertexArray[ia].Tangent = Tangent;
    VertexArray[ia].Bitangent = Bitangent;

    VertexArray[ib].Normal = Normal;
    VertexArray[ib].Tangent = Tangent;
    VertexArray[ib].Bitangent = Bitangent;

    VertexArray[ic].Normal = Normal;
    VertexArray[ic].Tangent = Tangent;
    VertexArray[ic].Bitangent = Bitangent;
}
With this 3 vectors we can construct the TBN matrix in the fragment shader.
mat3x3 TBN = mat3x3(Tangent, Bitangent, Normal);
The TBN matrix is in it's substance an arbitrary axis rotation matrix and it defines the transformation from tangent space to object space.
If we wanted to render an object (for example loaded from a file and that object was) made of curved surfaces, it would probably include per vertex normals. In that case the per vertex normals of a triangle wouldn't necessarily have to be identical and they wouldn't necessarily have to be perpendicular to the per triangle tangent and bitangent vectors. After calculating the per triangle tangent and bitangent vectors, we would have to calculate the per vertex tangent vector perpendicular to the per vertex normal vector using the (first step of the) Gram-Schmidt orthogonalisation process and then we would have to calculate the per vertex bitangent vector perpendicular to the per vertex tangent and normal vectors using the cross product.
Tangent = normalize(Tangent - Normal * dot(Normal, Tangent));
Bitangent = cross(Normal, Tangent);
The tangent and bitangent vectors are passed on to vertex shader as vertex attributes.
attribute vec3 att_Tangent, att_Bitangent;
In GLSL 1.2 we don't have the option of using the "layout(location = ) in ..." convention, so we have to get the locations of the attributes using the glGetAttribLocation function in the C/C++ code first.
NormalMapping.AttribLocations = new GLuint[2];
NormalMapping.AttribLocations[0] = glGetAttribLocation(NormalMapping, "att_Tangent");
NormalMapping.AttribLocations[1] = glGetAttribLocation(NormalMapping, "att_Bitangent");
When rendering the object we enable the vertex attribute array using the glEnableVertexAttribArray function and we set the array using the glVertexAttribPointer function. You may know the glEnableVertexAttribArray and glVertexAttribPointer functions from the OpenGL 3.3 tutorials, but they are originally OpenGL 2.0 functions. This fact is one of the reasons, why you should learn the OpenGL 2.1 and older way of rendering before you jump to OpenGL 3.3.
glEnableVertexAttribArray(NormalMapping.AttribLocations[0]);
glVertexAttribPointer(NormalMapping.AttribLocations[0], 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 68, (void*)44);

glEnableVertexAttribArray(NormalMapping.AttribLocations[1]);
glVertexAttribPointer(NormalMapping.AttribLocations[1], 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 68, (void*)56);
If normal mapping is enabled, in the glsl_normal_mapping.vs vertex shader we only pass on the tangent, bitangent and normal vectors to the glsl_normal_mapping.fs fragment shader. The normal matrix is calculated in the C/C++ code as transpose of the inverse of the upper left 3x3 submatrix of the model matrix, so the lighting calculations in the glsl_normal_mapping.fs fragment shader are done in world space. The tangent, bitangent and normal vectors must be normalized in fragment shader because of two reasons. The normal matrix can contain inverse scaling transformation and the tangent, bitangent and normal vectors can be per vertex data. With the normalized tangent, bitangent and normal vectors we can construct the TBN matrix and use it to transform the normal from normal map from tangent space to object space. Then we have to use the normal matrix to transform normal from normal map from object space to world space.
