Talk:Binormal

From Tech Artists Wiki

On the Normal Map page I favored the term Bitangent over Binormal because of the assertions on this page: [1] (look for the headline about 1/2-way down). Could this guy be correct? --EricChadwick 01:38, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

He is very possibly/probably correct. I knew about bitangent = binormal, but never the reasoning for it, and everyone refers to binormals, so for simplicity's sake I have always used binormal (the shader semantic is BINORMAL as well). I will probably continue to use Binormal in speech and articles, but I think for the sake of accuracy, the article should have a mention of Binormal vs. Bitangent. If you feel confident with the reasoning, move the page to Bitangent and mention the naming rationale at the top. Or we can consider it for a little while until we get a more definitive answer. - RobGalanakis-3 14:26, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
