Advanced Parameters

If enabled, elements will be automatically rotated to have similar orientations. - Downscale Opacity Mask: 0-4
Adjust the scale of the opacity mask. Note that increasing this value can decrease the quality of the opacity mask. - Shape Detection Precision:
Select which shape detection algorithm to use. - Dilation Width: 0-32
Modify the dilation - this extrudes the colors of the element borders into the masked area to help avoid transparency issues at the edge of atlas elements. View the base color channel in the 2D view to see the results. - Custom Background Color: toggle
If enabled, a control appears to modify the background color of the normal channel:- Normal Bg Color: color select
Select the custom background color of the normal channel in transparent parts of the material.
