/* Author: Morten S. Mikkelsen
 * Version: 1.0
 *
 * The files mikktspace.h and mikktspace.c are designed to be
 * stand-alone files and it is important that they are kept this way.
 * Not having dependencies on structures/classes/libraries specific
 * to the program, in which they are used, allows them to be copied
 * and used as is into any tool, program or plugin.
 * The code is designed to consistently generate the same
 * tangent spaces, for a given mesh, in any tool in which it is used.
 * This is done by performing an internal welding step and subsequently an order-independent evaluation
 * of tangent space for meshes consisting of triangles and quads.
 * This means faces can be received in any order and the same is true for
 * the order of vertices of each face. The generated result will not be affected
 * by such reordering. Additionally, whether degenerate (vertices or texture coordinates)
 * primitives are present or not will not affect the generated results either.
 * Once tangent space calculation is done the vertices of degenerate primitives will simply
 * inherit tangent space from neighboring non degenerate primitives.
 * The analysis behind this implementation can be found in my master's thesis
 * which is available for download --> http://image.diku.dk/projects/media/morten.mikkelsen.08.pdf
 * Note that though the tangent spaces at the vertices are generated in an order-independent way,
 * by this implementation, the interpolated tangent space is still affected by which diagonal is
 * chosen to split each quad. A sensible solution is to have your tools pipeline always
 * split quads by the shortest diagonal. This choice is order-independent and works with mirroring.
 * If these have the same length then compare the diagonals defined by the texture coordinates.
 * XNormal which is a tool for baking normal maps allows you to write your own tangent space plugin
 * and also quad triangulator plugin.

// To avoid visual errors (distortions/unwanted hard edges in lighting), when using sampled normal maps, the
// normal map sampler must use the exact inverse of the pixel shader transformation.
// The most efficient transformation we can possibly do in the pixel shader is
// achieved by using, directly, the "unnormalized" interpolated tangent, bitangent and vertex normal: vT, vB and vN.
// pixel shader (fast transform out)
// vNout = normalize( vNt.x * vT + vNt.y * vB + vNt.z * vN );
// where vNt is the tangent space normal. The normal map sampler must likewise use the
// interpolated and "unnormalized" tangent, bitangent and vertex normal to be compliant with the pixel shader.
// sampler does (exact inverse of pixel shader):
// float3 row0 = cross(vB, vN);
// float3 row1 = cross(vN, vT);
// float3 row2 = cross(vT, vB);
// float fSign = dot(vT, row0)<0 ? -1 : 1;
// vNt = normalize( fSign * float3(dot(vNout,row0), dot(vNout,row1), dot(vNout,row2)) );
// where vNout is the sampled normal in some chosen 3D space.
//
// Should you choose to reconstruct the bitangent in the pixel shader instead
// of the vertex shader, as explained earlier, then be sure to do this in the normal map sampler also.
// Finally, beware of quad triangulations. If the normal map sampler doesn't use the same triangulation of
// quads as your renderer then problems will occur since the interpolated tangent spaces will differ
// eventhough the vertex level tangent spaces match. This can be solved either by triangulating before
// sampling/exporting or by using the order-independent choice of diagonal for splitting quads suggested earlier.
// However, this must be used both by the sampler and your tools/rendering pipeline.
