obj-loader Tangent fix

The tangent was generated by vertex, and was changed to per normal, this will work if the normal are defined per vertex.

This patch is creating good results with the current models tested, but depends on the output of the exporter.

In case the tangents are not correct, the 3D model should be re-exported or generate the normals programmatically.
