Dynamic Decal - Decal System for Blender

Dynamic Decal is a shader-based system designed to make adding decals incredibly simple and fast. With Dynamic Decal, you use a Decal Target object to project, place, scale, and rotate your decals dynamically and interactively, right in the 3D Viewport.

This setup provides a non-destructive workflow that is perfect for concept art, environment design, and hard-surface modeling.

Core Features

• Shader-Based: No need for complex UV unwrapping on your target model. The projection is handled entirely through the material shader.
• Powerful and Flexible Nodes: Includes custom node groups for control over mapping and masking.

What's Included

• Decal Target Direction: This optional modifier calculates the direction of the Decal Target object and passes it as an attribute to the shader. This is used by the Decal Mask node for normal-based masking.
• Decal Mapping Node: This node group works just like Blender's native Mapping node, giving you familiar control over the decal's transformation.
• Decal Mask Node: This node generates the final mask for your decal. It takes the decal's alpha and can use an optional direction vector to prevent the decal from projecting on surfaces that aren't facing the Decal Target.
• Decal Target Object: A cube object that acts as the projector for your decal. The bounds of this cube define the area where the decal will be projected. Simply move, rotate, and scale this object to place your decal.

Installation and set-up

The installation process is very simple and can be read in the Documentation tab.
