A new texture generation program now in open beta

After a year of development, Knald, a new program for texture map generation, is in open beta. Developed by Polycounter Andy Davies (metalliandy) and his team at Knald Tech, Knald is the world's first GPU powered solution for generating high quality texture maps from any source texture. Head over to the official Knald website to read more about it, watch tutorial videos and browse their gallery.

I downloaded it first day it hit the front page of polycount and as such I've been using it for almost two weeks now. Already has a place in my pipeline. The AO map generator on this is absolutely brilliant. One of the interesting things I've found about it is that if if there are reversed normals in your bake it will flip them for you. By accident I found this out when I was in a rush to see what the software did and some of the boolean geometry from a maya bake was flipped. Only issue I've had so far is some of my objs with mirrored uv's throw errors.
