That's not an issue ... that is my lack of information maybe
Phew, I struggle hard with that openGL stuff. Especially the idea of using an in-between geometry shader for normals was a rather stupid decision, maybe I can do that on the vertex normals (the normals calculated in the point met from the surrounding faces or I must redo that completely). The problem is, now I got all faces flat but with the correct normals on it
I need to emphasize, that most of our assets are rather "cheap", so no metal-map etc. I added those already for a few of my assets at home to at least test it. For that "wonder-woman character", since normal clothes usually are not made from metal

. The exporters now should already use it, inside makehuman it is not as easy. If one combines assets with phong, matcap (litsphere) and pbr shader (the one from the openGL tutorial), then one has a lot of different light situations. For my Ava character I also added light, but in a game they use an overlay to do bloom effects. And until now I have no self-shading. Metal reflects the skybox, that looks okay, shiny skin creates funny effects ... so I still avoid that. One can use colored lamps to get a different tone, but then all assets change the tone. The big shader engines (like the editor in Unreal Engine) I can't realize, the problem would be, like in Blender, that hundreds of effects will look fine in that program, but cannot exported so it will fit into another system.
At the moment I try animation corrections but these do not yet work correctly, I have still problems with the axes. There are other bugs, some I am aware of. And bugs occur here and there, when versions change or with a different OS or maybe graphics card.
