- | 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 finalizing of Uvs while baking or texturing as they have the ability to transfer their current UVs to a new layout in the future. | + | 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.

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. | 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. | ||
