Normals belong to a space.

This focused lab pairs a tangent-space normal map with the object-space path. Both use procedural diffuse/specular fixtures, while the object-space geometry deliberately removes vertex normals like the official example.

The tangent map is transformed through a TBN frame; the object map overrides attribute normals and is transformed by the normal matrix. Official Lee Perry-Smith/Nefertiti assets, exact page/pixel fidelity, complete tangent/UV/normal matrices, device performance, context loss, and whole-example fidelity remain separate.
