Small correction to my last mail:
When i wrote ColsureData::N ,  i was meaning:  ShaderClosure::N  :)

Also updated the patch to the latest SVN revision:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/65979653/BlenderComunityShare/Patchs/Own/NormalOutput_PerBSDFNormal_0.71.diff

Thanks
Agus.

>
> N0: Normal input subgraph in the output node will define the first shader

>
> N1: Displacement input in Output normal still makes bump mapping, it will
> make displacement and bump mapping as needed, the normal generated here is
> a modulation of the normal already defined in N0
>
> - Bump Nodes in the user interface will compute the bump normal using the
> ShaderData::N as base normal already defined by N0 and N1, the bump normal
> output can be connected to normal input bsdf sockets, this normals will be
> writen to ClosureData::N and used latter on in the bxdf sampling functions.

> added, is not clear if it should be a new node or upgrade the vector math
> node adding that option and a mix input socket.

> - Image node:  still needs to let the user specify the normal
> space whether is world/object/tangent space. Also a control "intensity"
> could be added to attenuate the normal before output it in the normal out
> socket?

> Bump node no longer writes directly the ShaderData::N, instead they output
> the normal generated. To set the normal to ShaderData::N, there is a new
> small node "SetNormal" this will be only used once in the shader graph, and
> right now is used to set the normal defined by the subgraph in the input
> normal of the output node.
