PICTURE 1: wave with dir = vec2(1.0, 0.0) (working normal values + vertix displacement)
#calculating normals on diagonal waves
bitter vigil
PICTURE 2: wave with dir = normalize(vec2(1.0, 0.0)) (working vertex displacement, not working normal values)
(2nd image is top view so you can see the (wrong) normal vector things)
instead of matching the diagonal waves, the normal maps make it seem like there are two waves going in perpendicular directions
can someone help me solve this one?
this is the video im basing it off of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH9q0HNBjT4

Why not just use central difference
Oh it's meant to be dynamic I see
Just take the partial derivatives with respect to x and y, built a tangent vector along each one, and use the cross product

That's what i was trying to do, and it works perfectly when the wave is going along the x or z axis, but when i put in a diagonal direction it acts weird, do you know how i could fix that?
Thanks for your response by the way 🙏

It's the same derivation so it shouldn't if done correctly
