Tangent

The geometric tangent of the currently-processed data in a given coordinate space.

Parameter Types

Parameter descriptions

Space

The space in which the shader defines the bitangent vector; the default is object.

Index

The index of the texture coordinates that the node computes the tangent against; the default is 0.

Discussion

Valid values for the Space parameter include the following:

  • model: The local coordinate space before the shader applies any local deformations or global transforms to the geometry.

  • object: The local coordinate space after the shader applies local deformations but before it applies global transforms to the geometry.

  • world: The global coordinate space after the shader applies both local deformations and global transforms to the geometry.
