BLENDER ADD-ON · BLENDER 5.2+
Instant edge detail.
Full control.
Chipped corners, wear, welds and seams that look sculpted, built as thin mesh decal strips along your model's edges. Every strip stays editable. Render in Blender, or send the asset to Unreal.

Not sculpted: the chipped, worn edges are mesh decal strips.
Keep modeling.
The decals keep up.
V2 is a free update for everyone who owns Edge Decal Generator.
01 · INTEGRATED SURFACE
One clean mesh. No floating strips.
OPTIMIZED FOR GAMES · SINGLE DRAW CALLCut the decals into the model itself, with shared boundaries and no surface offset. Source UVs stay in the first UV channel and decal UVs go in the second. Bevel, Subdivision and other source modifiers run on the result.
With one source material and one decal material. The column shown is 720 triangles.
02 · EDIT MODE FOLLOW
Extrude. The decals follow.
Keep editing the source after you add decals. Every strip stays attached while you work in Edit Mode.
◆ Extrude, move and reshape the source
◆ Strip UVs continue across the new faces
◆ Undo puts every strip back exactly where it was
03 · FOLLOW BOOLEANS
Damage that stays live.
Decals build on the cut surface instead of the original mesh.
◆ Edges the Boolean trims end at the cut
◆ The new seams get decals of their own
◆ Move the cutter and the layer updates live, without reshuffling
ALSO IN V2 Decals match procedural materials, not just image textures. Match Source Material copies the Noise, Voronoi, Wave, ramp and Math networks behind your Base Color, Metallic and Roughness. Procedural graphs stay in Blender; Unreal export uses textures and values.
BEFORE / AFTER
Same model. Same texture.
Only the decals change. The wipe goes from the clean edges to the finished ones.

Verified reviews from the ArtStation store.
