Transform your normal map from tangentspace back to viewspace required by deferredshading, must be done in fragment shader both options require the construction of a tbn matrix, and if your tangentspace basis is orthogonal modeling software like assimp can be configured to do this for you you can transpose the tbn matrix to do either one. Basic shading, you know how to get decent shading using triangle normals.
It comprises an overview of graphics concepts and a walkthrough the graphics card rendering pipeline. The idea behind normal mapping is that instead of interpolating the vertex normals across the triangle face which creates the smoothness we are trying to get rid off they can simply be sampled from a texture.
