THE AGING TOOLKIT
Every kind of wear.
One editable decal.
EFFECTS
Combine freely. Adjust individually. Stay non-destructive.
See the effects in action.
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.
Paint Mask
Match the surface beneath.
Capture roughness and small bump details from the model under your decal. Requires Cycles.
Capture Surface Detail
Add real-looking tape.
Lay a strip of adhesive tape across the border of a decal. Move, rotate and scale it like any object, and change its color, wrinkles, dirt and torn ends.
Adhesive Tape
Place, move and repeat.
Offset, rotate and scale a decal, or repeat it as a wall of pasted posters, each copy aged differently.
Decal Transform + Repeat
Repeat it. Vary the wear.
Tile one design with different damage on each copy, or generate a fresh pattern with New Variation.
Tile Variation + Seed
Use your own artwork.
Keep your own decal pictures in folders and place them with the mouse. Your library survives add-on updates.
My Library
Swap the image. Keep the aging.
Replace your decal artwork without rebuilding its aging settings.
Replace Image
One look. Multiple decals.
Copy aging settings from the active decal to the selected decals. Each keeps its own random seed.
Copy Settings to Selected
Stay fast while you work.
Fast Viewport keeps the viewport light while you edit. Fast Preview uses a lighter shader in the viewport; final renders always use full quality.
Fast Preview + Fast ViewportMake the edges look worn.
Add ragged edges, exposed paper fibers and glue residue.

DecalWear — Complete Video Tutorial
EDITABLE
Your original artwork stays untouched. Re-bake after editing a baked result.
BAKING
UVs and Cycles required. Bake refuses an object that has other materials besides the decal's, so bake a decal object that has only the aging material. Wrinkles and peel lift add shading detail, not curled geometry.
MATERIALS
Add Aging works on the first Principled BSDF that feeds the material output. Materials built from node groups or with several Principled BSDFs are not fully supported.
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. macOS and Linux not tested yet. 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.
