| - | Material ID maps are textures that contain RGB information based upon either separate mesh parts, exported/embedded material data or Low Poly UV shells and are generated via Knald's [[the_baker_knald|baker]]. They are extremely useful for texturing purposes; allowing the user to create selection masks based upon different materials on a mesh. | + | Material ID maps are textures that are generated via Knald's [[the_baker_knald|baker]] & contain RGB information based upon the number of imported High Poly mesh parts, with each mesh being assigned a unique color. They are extremely useful for texturing purposes; allowing the user to create selection masks based upon different materials on a mesh. |
| - | It is possible to assign a maximum of 255 unique colour values within a Material ID map, either allowing Knald to generate them automatically for you as the number of mesh part or UV shells increases or by using the color pickers found next to each High Poly mesh within the [[the_baker_knald#bake_meshes_settings|Bake Meshes group]]. Black (0.0) is always used as the background color. | + | It is possible to assign a maximum of 255 unique colour values within a Material ID map, either allowing Knald to generate them automatically for you as the number of mesh parts increase or by using the color pickers found next to each High Poly mesh within the Material ID group.
