Unity stores its normal maps as DXT5nm, where only the G and A channels are used (because they have more bits available).

normal map is in tangent space

convert normal map from tangent space to world space:

Such a matrix is called a TBN matrix where the letters depict a tangent, bitangent and normal vector. These are the vectors we need to construct this matrix.

tangent is the tangent to the normal

and the bitangent is the cross product

if n is object-space normal, the result of TBN * tangent-space normal is object space

if n is world-space normal, the result of TBN * tangent-space normal is world space
