Create a surface bake

1. Create a TUNS Surface Bake Data Asset in your project.
2. Choose the exact Mesh you plan to use. Static and skeletal assets are supported; the baker uses LOD 0.
3. Choose a valid UV Channel. Add a Mask Texture if only part of the surface should emit.
4. Choose a bank size. Start with 64 relaxation iterations and 32 integration samples per point.
5. Click TUNS Bake, inspect the result and save.

   Reusable points; Niagara controls live particle count.

A skeletal bake stores locations on triangles in the reference pose. The skeletal Niagara input resolves those locations against the matching mesh. A static bake also stores positions and normals.

A cancelled or failed bake retains previous data. That does not mean it matches your new settings; check Status and Is Ready.
