Blender Market – DECALmachine v1.4.2

DECALmachine is a blender addon - a set of tools to simplify and automate working with mesh based decals, which in turn facilitates quick design thinking, iteration and exploration. It does all that in a very non-committal, non-destructive way.

DECALmachine is supposed to be used with Blender's Cycles renderer.

Since v1.4 decals can be exported to Unity3D, Unreal Engine 4, etc.
