 ====== Texture Transfer Maps ======
-The Position maps within Knald are generated from high to low polygonal meshes via [[the_baker_knald_1.1|The Baker]] & contain RGB information which correlates to specific positions found on the High Poly mesh. When multiple channels are rendered they form a volumetric gradient; with each pixel within the map pointing to a unique area of the mesh (no two values (colors) within the position map contain duplicated positional data). They are viewable in the Position tab when selected.
+The Texture Transfer maps within Knald are generated from high to low polygonal meshes via [[the_baker_knald_1.1|The Baker]] & allow the conversion & transfer of multiple textures with arbitrary UVs from one layout to another. This allows the user to be initially unconcerned with the finalization of UVs while baking or texturing as they have the ability to transfer their current UVs to a new layout in the future.
+Texture Transfer also has the ability to transfer between Tangent and Object space normals (and vice versa) when using the low poly mesh as a pseudo high poly source.

-===== The Position Group's Settings =====
+===== The Texture Transfer Group's Settings =====
 ----
-**Invert:** Inverts the Position map.
-**Normalization:** The toggle between Uniform & Non-Uniform normalization. This can be changed at any time without the need to re-bake.
+**Transfer Type:** A selection dropdown for choosing the type of map to transfer.
+  * **Color:** To be used where the source & target textures contain color or grayscale data.
+  * **Normal Map:** To be used where the source & target textures are normal maps.
-  * **Uniform:** Applies uniform normalization to the resulting position map.
+**Add Target:** Adds the selected transfer target to the stack for baking.
-  * **Non-Uniform:** Applies non-uniform normalization to the resulting position map.
-**Render Axis:** Allows the choice of which axes you wish to render position information for.
+**Target Name:** Add a source texture here. The loading of multiple textures simultaneously is supported via Shift+Select and doing so will automatically create a new slot per texture. Clicking the - icon to the right will remove slots of previously loaded textures from the stack.
-  * **X:** Enables rendering of position information on the X axis (left/right). This data is contained within the red channel of the resulting texture.
+**Minus Button:** Remove the selected texture from the file stack.
-  * **Y:** Enables rendering of position information on the Y axis (up/down). This data is contained within the green channel of the resulting texture.
-  * **Z:** Enables rendering of position information on the Z axis (front/back). This data is contained within the blue channel of the resulting texture.
-**Axis Rotation:** Allows the independent axis rotation of rendered position information.
+**Tilable:** A toggle for tilable textures. Checked is tilable, unchecked is non-tilable.
-  * **X:** Rotates the Position map on the X axis (red channel).
+**In OS:** A toggle for Object Space normals. Checked is for when the source texture is Object Space, unchecked is Tangent Space.
-  * **Y:** Rotates the Position map on the Y axis (green channel).
-  * **Z:** Rotates the Position map on the Z axis (blue channel).
-Any combination of axes can be rendered as per the users wishes.
+**Out OS:** A toggle for Object Space normals. Checked is for when the target texture is to be Object Space, unchecked is Tangent Space.
