| - | During the initial bake (and every bake thereafter) Knald will always bake [[normal_maps_knald|Tangent Space Normal]]((Knald uses MikkTSpace by Morten S. Mikkelsen, which is available from http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Shading/Tangent_Space_Normal_Maps)), [[normal_maps_knald|Object Space Normal]], [[derivative_maps_knald|Derivative]], [[height_maps_knald|Displacement/Height]] & [[vertex_color_maps_knald|Vertex Color]] automatically and simultaneously without any interaction from the user, even when they are not selected as bake targets. This can be useful to remember as if you forget to add a bake target you can simply add it post bake and it will appear in the associated tab without the need to rebake everything. | + | During the initial bake (and every bake thereafter) Knald will always bake [[normal_maps_knald_1.1|Tangent Space Normal]]((Knald uses MikkTSpace by Morten S.

| - | If you want to change the settings for either of these post bake you can do so by going to the associated group, either in the [[the_main_tab_knald|Main]] or [[the_baker_knald|Baker]] tabs, and adjusting the relevant controls.
