I - Introduction

Hello fellow life forms!

In today’s post, we take a look at the theory needed for understanding the famous tangent-space mapping, which is the basis for most meso-scale rendering techniques. This post is not intended to be an in-depth mathematical treatment of tangent space, manifolds, mappings or anything like that. It is intended to lay the groundwork in a reasonable manner, so that when I mention Tangent Space or something related to it, you can easily visualize what I mean.
