Advanced Member NinjaTaco Posted June 13 Advanced Member Share Posted June 13 The idea is you lay the decal onto the surface of the geometry. This is more of hard surface technique that is likely not suitable for characters with deformations. So the decals exist as separate objects which helps to retain the higher resolution on the finer details. And if you use the same decal again and again you can retain higher detailed textures. It would be nice if the decals could wrap around the surface. I time stamped it the examples below. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member Elemeno Posted June 14 Advanced Member Share Posted June 14 or a workaround , extract a plane from your mesh seperate uv , high quality image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am aware this could be done manually. And BTW, you left out a few steps. You want to do that 40 times for a model times 50 models? or would you rather drag and drop and let the plane conform to the surface?

You would need still need something to subdivide the geometry. People don't like writing scripts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
