The correct way to make decals in Blender (NO SHRINKWRAP)
Someone made an addon based on the technique! Get it here:
It is a bad idea to use shrinkwraps for decals. I show you a more robust technique. It’s more useful, looks better, and works in more situations.
I talk about what makes this technique better, how to link textures to empties, how to limit its projection within the empty, working with PBR decals, order of operations, using one decal on multiple objects, and more…
I always appreciate feedback for my videos. Keep it nice and constructive.
