Rotates the vectors of a normal map


Inputs


InputNormalMap                        The Normal Map to Rotate

Angle                                An Angle (0-360) to rotate the Normal Map by

ZeroToOne_AngleMap                A 0-1 Ranges float value. This value is computed in addition to the Angle float value

Normal Format                        An integer value defining the normal format. 0 is DirectX 1 is OpenGL

InverseRotation                        If true, the normal map will be rotated counter clockwise using the given angles

mirrorU  /  mirrorV                        Will apply a mirror of the vectors before rotation


mirrotToValue                        If not 0, this is a special case to extrapolate angle and mirrorU and mirror V from a single float value.

                                       EP Nodes such as Manifolds transmit mirroring and angles in combined value via the Alpha channel.

                                       In order to pack 3 values into a single one e.g. the ManifoldUV Node subtracts 1000 from the Angle,

                                       if its MirrorU is turned on, and 2000 from the Angle value if MirrorV is turned on.


                                       This results in the following unpacking of values


                                       If the provided mirrotTovalue is < -639:

                                       

            • if mirrotTovalue < -2639 mirrorX and mirrorY become true and a value of 3000 is added to the mirrorToValue to derive

                                               the final angle value


            • if mirrorToValue > -1001 mirrorX becomes true and a value of 1000 is added to the mirrorToValue to derive the final angle value


            • if mirrorToValue < - 1641, > -2001 and < -1001, mirrorY becomes true and a value of 2000 is added to the mirrorToValue to derivee

               the final angle value
