EZDecal — Simple Decal Placement

EZDecal is a Blender add-on that makes it easy to place, tweak, and bake decals directly onto your 3D models. It’s designed to be lightweight, intuitive, and production-ready — no more manual UV adjustments or complex material setups.

✨ Features

• Quick Decal Placement

  • Hover, click, and place decals directly on your mesh.

  • Supports random decal placement from your library for fast variation.

• Material Controls

  • Per-decal values for Hue, Saturation, Value, and influence.

  • Independent control over Roughness, Metallic, and Bump.

  • Built-in 4D Aging System to simulate wear over time.

• Geometry & Projection

  • Shrinkwrap with multiple wrap methods (Target Normal Project, Nearest Surface, etc.).

  • Per-decal Z Offset (saves individually for each decal).

  • Snap & Move with Blender’s snapping tools auto-enabled.

• Baking System

  • Bake decals directly into your model’s texture (Cycles required).

  • Alpha mask baking with invert node integration for correct blending.

  • Automatic removal of decals after baking.

  • ✅ Big Advantage: Once baked, decals become part of the surface texture — meaning they work perfectly with cloth simulations, soft body simulations, and deformations without stretching or breaking apart.

• Library Management

  • Default decal library included.

  • Add your own images with one click.

  • Thumbnail previews for quick browsing.

📖 How to Use

1. Set a Target Object

   • Choose the mesh you want to project decals onto.

2. Pick or Import Decals

   • Use the included decal library or import your own textures.

3. Place Decals

   • Click Place Decal, hover over the target, adjust with the mouse wheel, and click to apply.

4. Tweak Materials

   • Adjust hue, roughness, metallic, bump, and aging directly in the UI.

5. Bake to Texture

   • Choose bake resolution, extrusion, and max ray distance.

   • Press Bake — decals will merge into your model’s texture, ready for simulation.

🔧 Requirements

• Blender 4.0 or later

• Cycles renderer (for baking)
