Creating CUSTOM DECALS in Decal Machine for Blender (Use Geometry, Images, or Text!)

[@TheCGEssentials]

Hi everyone! Let me know some of the cool stuff you're doing with Decal Machine in the comments below! :)

How do you svg files as decals

Trying my best :)

[@tvmasterc]

Thanks for this tutorial! It has enabled me to make advancements on my animation 'Moonscape'!

[@jogibaerr50000]

Huuuwhatsupguys... You are the greatest! 😀

[@АртемБутырский-т3у]

hi, I really like how you explain in detail how to work in blender. When I have money, I'll make you a reward. Thank You. p.s. this is a translation from Russian, if unflattering translated.

[@TheCGEssentials]

I understood it - thanks!

[@TR-707]

woah that intro spooked me

[@Vioxtar]

Thank.

[@mrhollywood1173]

Great Demo and Explanation. Cheers

[@TheCGEssentials]

Glad you liked it!

[@joshua42777]

Thank you so much for sharing! I am wondering, is there a way to use these Decals as textures for use in pbr painter? or is it best to finish texturing then add decals then bake the decals?

How do I leave the decal creation window when I have another file open...im so lost.

[@SgtMajor82]

How do you get back from creating a decal to your blender project please?

[@21Liberdade]

As someone new to this, how is detail being lost on both examples you modelled?

[@josephvanwyk2088]

If you have the time, would you mind making a full pipeline video on Trim Sheets? I modeled a house and found applying unique textures for each part is consuming memory. Then I saw game developers use 1 trim sheet to decorate an entire set. I've seen a tutorial from Blender Guru that made sense, wondered if you might have a go at it as well. Building a 2d texture trim as well as a 3d trim for the application of wall & object decoration.

[@TheCGEssentials]

Do you know which video you were watching?

[@josephvanwyk2088]

@@TheCGEssentials I think it was WTF are trim sheet?. (haha) - I got the sense of how they work and how to make the one the guy demonstrated. But I kinda need full clarity on the pipeline process of making and applying texture trim sheets vs the 3D trim sheet ones. The other video I saw was a guy using 3D studio Max, the jargon sounds the same, but it would be nice if there were more Blender ones. And if trim sheets are the professional way to go about texturing game buildings, models etc....

Plz man how can i join decals to rigged characters without destortion

[@mathiasrauls7790]

Anytime I load a PNG Decal Machine alters the transparent areas making them black. So if I try to load a black decal PNG, after clicking create info decal, all I get is a black square image. >_

same lol

Ok solution is to move it a bit inside the geometry, and it's all good ;) Select it, and move it.
