| - | + | **Max Iterations:** The maximum possible number of iterations that the integrator will use when processing. It should be noted that this setting does not specify the exact number of iterations used, as the integrator will automatically try to find the best value which will be displayed under the Convergence Point field, but only the maximum amount of iterations that you want to be used during processing. | |

The closer the slider is towards Cont:, the more continuous the values found in the resulting height map will be, whereas the closer the slider is moved towards Deriv:, the more accurately the slopes will be preserved at the expense of continuity between pixel values. |
| + | * We do not recommend going above a value of 90 as this can cause noise to appear in the map. | ||

| + | * __This should be used with caution!__ Results may vary and can depend greatly on the quality of the imported image. | ||
| - | Slope Range: | + | **Planar Rigidity:** This slider is used to preserve the flatness of an imported texture and to get more consistently even values in the integrated Height map. |
| - | Planar Rigidity: This slider is used to preserve the flatness of an imported texture and to get more consistently even values in the integrated Height map. | + | **Enable Noise Reduction:** This check box is a toggle to enable and disable noise reduction before the texture is processed through the Integrator. |
