+The Normal maps within Knald are generated on the fly from the [[height_maps_knald|Height maps]] provided by [[the_integrator_knald|The Integrator]]. They are adjustable in real time in terms of intensity via the [[the_main_tab_knald#general|Bump Scale]] slider.
+You can also create Normal maps quickly and efficiently from photographs, via pre-rendered Height via Knald's [[color_to_normals_knald|Color To Normals]] functionality and our world class [[the_baker_knald|baker]].
