| - | 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. |
