It never occurred to me that this could be so versatile. thx

[@MACHIN3]

18:13 It's not a shadow. Decals will never cast a shadow. It's a reflection, and it can be disabled per decal or globally using the Glossy setting. It's not done by default, because you may want to have your decals appear in reflections of other objects.

Fantastic video Ryuu. It cleared up alot for me on Decal Machine. Thank you!

I just wanted to listing this powerfull English I use 3ds max but I like watching your videos Big up from Morocco♥️♥️♥️

[@monas1510]

Thank you, Ponte! I've bought it a while ago, but never got around to properly getting to know it. Glad to see you've made an up to date video :) Have a nice one too, mate! Keep up the great work! I find your vids very helpful and motivating too. You have this "Ok, Guys let's do it!" attitude that resonates with me. Arrimus 3d has something like that too. Much obliged! Dziękóweczka!

[@PonteRyuurui]

cheers, Mona, much appreciated!

[@FishasArt]

Thanks for the shoutout mate!

Awesome pack mate, keep it up!

Hey, can you please share your gumroad page link in the comments section. I've tried so much, googling and typing the exact name of the decal product but nothing comes up.

[@PonteRyuurui]

@@uzairbukhari99 sure, here is blenderbros theblenderbros.gumroad.com/ and here is mine ponteryuurui.gumroad.com/ both links should be in the vid description as well

[@uzairbukhari99]

@@PonteRyuurui thank you very much

[@georgeluna6217]

Can you please make a complete tutorial about Blender and Octane within the ACES workflow?

[@cashtonbriggs2135]

Good Morning Ponte. I'm glad you did an update to this. What a fantastic addon. Thank you. Question though, if I may? I have BB Trim 10, which I assume are trim sheets. I've added them to the trim folder, but when I go to edit mode>choose my faces>and hit D, they don't show up. All I see is the folder containing the default Decal Machine trims. They do, however, show up in my list when I'm in Object mode. Other than the standard trim folders, all that's in the folder itself is the .is25 and .istrimsheet. Is there something I'm missing?

[@PonteRyuurui]

no idea man, prolly did something wrong or may need to update DM and blender. I d scrap all and start from a clean install

[@mind_of_a_darkhorse]

Thanks for a great introduction to using decalmachine!

[@lisvlog]

Thanks for your courses. They help a lot. I have a question, transferring materials to decals is not working for me. Gives an error message: key "Subsurface IOR" not found.

[@PonteRyuurui]

DM only works with bsdf mats.

[@lisvlog]

thanks @@PonteRyuurui

[@fredrikohlin3285]

Hi thanks for your great tutorials. For some reason I can´t view the Y-menu in order to stash? (I use Blender 3.4.1 on a Mac).

[@zofo264]

Great Overview! Which of your courses explains how to use decals as stems in Substance Painter?

[@PonteRyuurui]

I think Game Asset 1.0, but I am not 100% sure.

[@sebastienmorere6925]

Hi , Thank you very much for these explanations. is it compatible with Marmoset toolbag 4?

[@joshua42777]

Thank you so much for sharing this! Question tho, will this work with other texturing addons such as pbr painter or bpainter? Has anyone tried it?

[@fetusness]

Thank you Ryuu 🙏💪🔥

[@HalitHarun]

hi bro. I bought all the tools we used from the blender market, but while creating a panel in the decal machine, I could not figure out how to combine the two panel lines correctly at the intersection points. My own methods didn't work. I've been searching through KZbin videos for a week and I still haven't found a solution. There is a command like "panel transiction" (I could be wrong) in a very old video, but I think it is not in the new versions either.

[@dougwarner59]

I loaded up your ultimate trim sheets and decal pacts one by one after unzipping them all at once; the trim sheets all loaded but two of the decal packs gave errors. I thought the files were corrupted but after I individually unzipped them they loaded up just fine. so apparently unzipping all the files at once may cause issues.

[@PonteRyuurui]

could be, curious issue

[@MAJmufin]

Does anyone know how to or where i can find how to get this trimsheet out of blender and into Unreal Engine? With all the correct shading especially.

[@casualguy6354]

Ryuu with decal machine vryuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[@mixchief]

@Ponte Ryuurui About the update method at 1:12. I understand this could be the most failsafe method, but doesn't it also delete all customizations in your addons? I'm thinking of addons like MACHIN3tools which has a lot of settings and therefore a lot of potential for a lot of customizations. The way I use to do it is to simply go into the installed addons directory and replace the addon with updated files, then restarting Blender and all my settings are retained. I wonder if that poses a greater risk for complications?

[@PonteRyuurui]

bad idea in a long run mate

[@patpetit1630]

Available for blender 4.0?

[@MarikuJunrei]

@15:21 indicates that this is indeed a real blender tutorial. 🤣

[@PonteRyuurui]

lol

[@ignatiusreilly8280]

Neat. Where are you from? I'm trying to determine what that accent is.

[@PonteRyuurui]

It's been so long I can't really put my finger on it.

[@JanKappers]

When I press D I can see the folder thumbnails but hovering over or clicking the thumbnails doesn't do anything. How do you expand the folders to see the decals inside? I see you do it in the video but it doesn't work for me.

[@PonteRyuurui]

update dm

[@raptorswire7212]

I love your videos. And I very appreciate that you are not afraid of speaking normally and not gay family-friendly like Disney and all the industries are now forcing us, because Blender users are obviously not pussies! 👌👌

cheers bruv

[@KICKinYaFACE]

I'd like to create my own decals with japanese characters, probably kanji and katakana only - Can someone recommend some nice fonts that looks good on Hard Surface Models?

[@NNgon]

can a model with decals be exported to quixel mixer or unreal engine ?

[@PonteRyuurui]

via atlas

[@NNgon]

@@PonteRyuurui what's that or can u give me a link or something to get an idea thanks man in advance

[@PonteRyuurui]

@@NNgon no tuts on this mate, last one i was making manually, and it was a chore / feel free to ask the creator to make a tut on it

[@jonathanmarcelthome]

Hi Ryuurui, Im struggling to load in my own decal designs and I cant seem to find the is25 file. I feel like im missing something.

[@PonteRyuurui]

you need to update the pack if it was created in previus versions of dm. just use dm menu to update it. The .is file is inside of the decal folder.

[@jonathanmarcelthome]

@@PonteRyuurui Awesome! As always thanks for the help.

[@PonteRyuurui]

@@jonathanmarcelthome any time mate

[@ericdodier3404]

where is the tutorial on converting these to substance painter? anyone got a link?

[@Mrflippyfloop]

@27.00 I've tried this a few times and always end up with a mess, no clean loop but lots of crappy geo.

[@PonteRyuurui]

well look up the documentation mate, you simply doing something wrong

[@Mrflippyfloop]

Got a better result but some edges around the loop are now missing after using Knife Boolean ? I did notice that you have a greyed out Extend option when using Panel Cutting. I don't have this ? Using DM 2.6.2

[@PonteRyuurui]

@@Mrflippyfloop well make sure that the knife cut goes through

[@Mrflippyfloop]

Didn't perform Ngon knife cut in View Mode! Also worth turning on wireframe so you can avoid cuts being close to original edges.

[@PonteRyuurui]

@@Mrflippyfloop or cut in edit mode with boxcutter

[@STORM_WALL]

Hey I'm at time stamp 9:07 I copied my asset folder onto my desktop, loaded up blender installed the new version of decals which is 2.7 Lastly in the decals location I tried opening the assets folder that I just copied to my desktop and non of the Blender Bros decals and trim sheet pop up. Not a single one What am I doing wrong?

[@PonteRyuurui]

try this kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4Caqqqned12i9k

[@STORM_WALL]

@@PonteRyuurui just saw the vid but still no results. I tried to update it through the panel as well but the option to do so is just grey. Which means it is up to date. But other than that i only see my defaults decals and not yours.

[@PonteRyuurui]

@@STORM_WALL i checked latest alpha blend with 2.7 DM. If you downloaded our decals with is 2.5 it works. So, not sure what to tell you mate, if you followed all steps, got our latest decals, and it doesnt work then contact machin3 directly.

[@STORM_WALL]

@@PonteRyuurui thank you

[@chrisgroff4981]

I'm holding down alt and clicking and its still applying my trim sheet to the whole mesh (while in edit mode)

[@PonteRyuurui]

you probably have trims without empty trim mat

@@PonteRyuurui I'm sorry to bother you again but I don't know what this means.

I cant instal Adon in blender

[@epelfeld]

I can see folders in Decal machine when I press D but I can't open them to see decals inside... When I press LMB - nothing happens

[@epelfeld]

Got it, you need to resolve D and I was holding it

[@JanKappers]

@@epelfeld I have the same problem with not seeing what's inside the folders. What do you mean "resolve D"? If you let go of the D key the pie menu goes away, even if you're hovering over the folder. I can't seem to expand the folders in the pie menu...

[@epelfeld]

@@JanKappers I was holding D, but you need only press it once, sometimes if there are too many decals inside the folder it takes up to 10 seconds to load images.

[@sebastianbarra4505]

hello, with the version of blender 3.2.1 it does not work :(

Rumour has it that updating addons may be beneficial to their performance.

you cant just change it you need to update it via DM, otherwise your nodes may get buggered.
