This is awesome, makes using decals a whole lot simpler for me. Thank you

I find it easier just to have a second UV map, and actually put it on as a texture, rather than have floating textures which may not work well in some engines. You can still places the texture wherever you want with that method.

decals save much more memory, they can be really small in px size, and you can have 1 main trimsheet with as many decals as you want, size increase by x4 in memory every time image resolution is increased x2, and they can be reused in many situations in the same scene/game instead of having to make a new full texture variation.

@@puchingballz You can also do this with a second UV map also. You can put all your decals on one sheet, but you don't need floating geometry with this method.
