-Designed to be used as omni-directional thickness map (with an attenuation ramp) for semi-translucent materials, Transmission are generated in much the same way as our high quality ​Mesh AO solution& it’s just as fast.

Simply load a mesh into Knald (multi-million polygonal meshes are supported), check a box and then watch Knald do its magic.
    
 After only a couple of seconds you will be greeted by your new and beautiful texture which is viewable with real-time translucency in the 3d preview window. After only a couple of seconds you will be greeted by your new and beautiful texture which is viewable with real-time translucency in the 3d preview window.
  
 +You can also generate Ambient Occlusion from high to low polygonal meshes via [[the_baker_knald|The Baker]].
