Detailed Description

This interface manages the normal mapping modes that can affect how 3ds Max calculates/interprets the tangent/binormal(bitangent) in vertex/pixel shading level during baking/rendering.

This interface is implemented by the system. Plug-ins can get/set the following values on the NormalMappingManager.

NormalBumpMode, the normal bump mode which can be one of the following: NB_3dsMax, NB_Maya, NB_DirectX, NB_MikkT. The default value is NB_3dsMax. See description for the definition of NormalBumpMode.
TangentBasisMode, the tangent basis mode which can be one of the following: kPerpendicularToFaceNormal, kPerpendicularToVertexNormal, kMikkT. The default value is kPerpendicularToFaceNormal. See description for the definition of TangentBasisMode.
OrthogonalizePerPixel, the flag indicating if Orthogonalize Per Pixel is enabled or disabled.
CalculateBitangentPerPixel, the flag indicating if Calculate Bitangent Per Pixel is enabled or disabled.

Usage: Set 3ds Max to use the mode compatible with Maya to calculate/interpret tangent/binormal(bitangent)

INormalMappingManager* nMMgr = static_cast<INormalMappingManager*>(GetCOREInterface(NORMALMAPPINGMGR_INTERFACE));

nMMgr->SetNormalBumpMode(NB_Maya);

Definition: NormalMappingManager.h:36

Set 3ds Max to use the mode compatible with MikkT to calculate/interpret tangent/binormal(bitangent), and enable calculate bitangent per pixel flag.

INormalMappingManager* nMMgr = static_cast<INormalMappingManager*>(GetCOREInterface(NORMALMAPPINGMGR_INTERFACE));
nMMgr->SetNormalBumpMode(NB_MikkT);
nMMgr->SetCalculateBitangentPerPixel(true);
