This add-on provides effortless drag-and-drop decals paired with gizmo controls, featuring out-of-the-box materials with procedural effects such as damage / peeled paint, wear, bump / normal maps and parallax. Now you can skip the complexities of manual texturing and UV mapping altogether.

Untitled

Decals are stickers or decorations that can be "pasted" onto the surface of an object, allowing the addition of extra detail without modifying the original geometry or textures of your model. This addon aims to provide an easy way to work with decals via intuitive controls and various advanced options. The best part is that all your decals are dynamically loaded directly from your drive folder; there's no need to import anything beforehand.

Prominent features

Materials or objects → decals: any material or object can be used as a template to be "pasted" like a sticker wherever you need.
Quick property editing: a dedicated context popup offers an easy access to the decal geometry settings and material controls for the selected objects. Decal parameters can be copied / pasted or inherited between them.
Decal Gizmo: a dedicated gizmo lets you easily place a decal on any object and adapt its geometry to the surface.
Decal Palette: quickly create new decals from the files on your hard drive, or create new instances of decals you have already imported. Palette also allows you to manage decal templates and to access various utility functions (such as replacing decals with different ones, or replacing their images or material). Decals are dynamically loaded directly from your drive folder; there's no need to import anything beforehand.
Basics included: the addon ships with a small library of CC0 prototype materials for the most common use-cases (ranging from basic diffuse color to multi-texture PBR and even parallax/fake-3D effects). Of course, you can also make your own material libraries, or adapt those prototypes for your custom needs.
No preloading or conversion is needed whatsoever. You simply point to the decal folder containing JPG, PNG, or similar files, and that’s it! You can also define your favorite folders within our built-in preset system.
Quality decals + Textures libraries included for free: Our addon comes by default with a high-quality decal library, perfectly suited to ornament your designs or models. Additionally, it includes a Texture library for weathering your shaders / models.
This addon does not have separate Light/Pro versions, and always comes with all features included.
