| + | **Export Normal/Derivative from Color To Normals:** This check box allows you to choose if you would rather export the Normal/Derivative maps in their pre or post integrated states. | ||
| - | **Panorama:** This check box allows you to choose if you would rather export the Normal/Derivative maps in their pre or post integrated states. | + | **File Path:** The file path to which the selected maps will save. By default the images will save to the Exports folder in the Knald install directory. |

| - | **Export SH Irradiance coefficients as [File Type Dropdown] FP16:** Check this to export Irradiance as spherical harmonics coefficients along with a .ash text file that contains their associated triplets. The resulting spherical harmonic expansion should be sampled in the same space as the cube map, assuming one is exported. | + | ---- |
| - | When sampling the spherical harmonic expansion the result is a linear space color. Exports are 9 coefficients per channel (Red, Green and Blue). | + | [{{https://s3.amazonaws.com/docs.knaldtech.com/docuwiki/post_export_actions.png?nolink|Post Export Actions}}] |

| - | **File Type Dropdown:** | ||
| - | The image type to which the spherical harmonics coefficients will save. Export is restricted to floating point 16 as the spherical harmonics coefficients are not bounded in either negative or positive values. | ||
