法线，切线和副法线构成了所谓的切线空间（tangnet space），在Bump Mapping中，法线纹理中存储的法线值就是在切线空间内的。
从网上找了一段求切线和副法线的代码.
根据三个顶点的位置坐标和纹理坐标求面的副法线和正切

//let P = v1 - v0
2D3DXVECTOR3 P = v1.pos - v0.pos;
3//let Q = v2 - v0
4D3DXVECTOR3 Q = v2.pos - v0.pos;
5float s1 = v1.s - v0.s;
6float t1 = v1.t - v0.t;
7float s2 = v2.s - v0.s;
8float t2 = v2.t - v0.t;

10//we need to solve the equation
11// P = s1*T + t1*B
12// Q = s2*T + t2*B
13// for T and B
14
15
16//this is a linear system with six unknowns and six equatinos, for TxTyTz BxByBz
17//[px,py,pz] = [s1,t1] * [Tx,Ty,Tz]
18// qx,qy,qz s2,t2 Bx,By,Bz
19
20//multiplying both sides by the inverse of the s,t matrix gives
21//[Tx,Ty,Tz] = 1/(s1t2-s2t1) * [t2,-t1] * [px,py,pz]
22// Bx,By,Bz -s2,s1 qx,qy,qz
23
24//solve this for the unormalized T and B to get from tangent to object space

27float tmp = 0.0f;
28if(fabsf(s1*t2 - s2*t1) <= 0.0001f)
29
{
30
tmp = 1.0f;
31
}
32else
33{
34 tmp = 1.0f/(s1*t2 - s2*t1 );
35}

37tangent.x = (t2*P.x - t1*Q.x);
38tangent.y = (t2*P.y - t1*Q.y);
39tangent.z = (t2*P.z - t1*Q.z);
40
41tangent = tmp * tangent;
42
43binormal.x = (s1*Q.x - s2*P.x);
44binormal.y = (s1*Q.y - s2*P.y);
45binormal.z = (s1*Q.z - s2*P.z);
46
47binormal = tmp * binormal;
根据Maya里面的资料写了一个求取tangent的函数，输入为3个顶点的位置，法线和纹理坐标，输出是切线值，副法线可以由切线和法线叉乘得到。
