More control over every decal.

Prepare the shape for edge wear.

For decals with transparent backgrounds, Prepare Shape detects the outline of the artwork so edge wear follows the design instead of the rectangular image boundary.

Prepare Shape

Choose what stays clean.

Paint a mask to protect selected areas while aging the rest of the decal.

Place, move and repeat.

EDITABLE

Your original artwork stays untouched. Re-bake after editing a baked result.

BAKING

UVs and Cycles required. Wrinkles and peel lift add shading detail, not curled geometry.

COMMERCIAL USE

Permitted. Add-on code: GPL-3.0-or-later. See the included licenses.

TESTED WITH

Blender 4.5 LTS, 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2 on Windows. Cycles and EEVEE.

PRESET PICTURES

When you save your own preset, DecalWear starts a hidden background Blender process (up to 2 minutes, no network) to render its small picture. If it cannot start, the preset is still saved without a picture.
