Decal

2015-08-04T05:39:25Z

Obscura: /* Tutorials */

A texture with [[Opacity map|transparency]] on a floating polygon, so that it appears to be painted directly on the underlying mesh. When placing decals, care must be taken to avoid [[Z-Fighting]]. Decals are commonly used for effects such as bullet marks, graffiti, broken edges, and tire tracks.

For hard-edged decals use "[[Transparency map#Alpha_Test|alpha test]]" because this is usually cheaper to render. If the decals must be softer (tire tracks in a racing game) then use [[Transparency map#Alpha_Blend|alpha blend]] instead. See also [[MultiTexture]].

Another common use is for blob shadows, which are soft dark circles under a model. Blob shadows are usually faster to render than using shadow-casting lights, and can replicate the look of soft shadowing.
