Triangle Normals

Now that we understand the geometric implications of a normal it is easy to figure out how to transform them.
On a facetted planar surface vectors in the tangent plane can be computed using surface points as follows. Normals are always orthogonal to the tangent space at a point. Thus, given two tangent vectors we can compute the normal as follows:This normal is perpendicular to both of these tangent vectors.
