| + | High poly bump/detail maps allow the user to apply additional detail to the High poly meshes without having to sculpt or model that detail prior to importing the meshes into Knald. This can be useful if you are limited in the amount of modelling/sculpting that you can have due to hardware or time considerations, but you have not yet reached the level of detail you require for the asset in question. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This feature can also be used to transfer Object & Tangent space normal maps from one layout to another in a similar way to Texture Transfer, or to convert between Object & Tangent space while retaining the same UV layout between meshes (by assigning the Low poly mesh to both the high and low slots found within the Bake Meshes group). | ||

| + | **High poly bump requires the High poly meshes to have UVs & any changes made to settings within the subgroup require a rebake to take effect if selected post bake.** | ||
