 ====== Derivative Maps ======
-Derivative Maps are a new method of bump mapping that does not use tangent spaces. This has numerous advantages over traditional normal map based workflows((http://mmikkelsen3d.blogspot.co.uk/2011/07/derivative-maps.html))((http://mmikkelsen3d.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/derivative-maps-in-xnormal.html)).

+The Derivative maps within Knald are generated one the fly from the [[height_maps_knald|Height maps]] provided by [[the_integrator_knald|The Integrator]]. They are adjustable in real time in terms of intensity via the [[the_main_tab_knald#general|Bump Scale]] slider in the [[the_main_tab_knald|Main Tab]].

   * Mirroring trivially works.
   * No need to recalculate tangent spaces on meshes with complex geometric deformations.
+  * Better visually during texture magnification.
