Thank you again for this great tutorial, Ryuu. But I need to upgrade my pc because now I can maintain my whole garden AND my neighbor's garden before a decal is baked.:))
I have been trying to learn decals for the last two weeks, and I don't know why this video never came up in the algorithm when I searched the topic. Very frustrating considering this is exactly the video I needed to watch. There are some comments posted below from Machin3 that stated some things about the normal issues and bevel modifiers within DM, perhaps there is an opportunity to revisit this topic either through RUclips or (preferably) in an update to the 497 essential tips. I would certainly appreciate it. - Salute 💯
Another awesome tutorial! Love the way you do these without bullshiting around. "I don't want to see any shit on gumroad".....one of my favorite all time RUclips quotes! You were not kidding about how compute intensive these are. Maxed out 12 cores for the better part of a couple of minutes.
That is most awesome tutorial i ever seen before :D Your speech goes well for a guru of hard surface!)) "Any mistake and sheeting going into sh*t. I'm not joking!" )) After this words and intonation i will always be super concentrated on creating my decals! I promise!)))
Hey, Ponte, 3 things, bud. Firstly, I am using *Blender 2.90.1,* and I am wondering if the *Decal Machine 2.0.1* is compatible? And is it updated as Blender evolves? Secondly, the add-ons *Hard Ops / Boxcutter Ultimate Bundle (2.8)* are for (as shown) 2.8 - so will they be ok in Blender 2.90.1 ? And thirdly, just a heads up for u, the link for *"Learn how to use Decal Machine"* link is to a video that isn't available.
Ryuu is fine mate, Ponte is my last name. Ditch that 2.9 fiasco and go 2.91 or 92 for hopscutter, stay in 2.83.7 for DM. I do occasionally get pythons in 91 and 82 with DM, but maybe i need to update it, not sure which version I am running. Yes, they are all being updated. That vid is outdated mate, watch the newer ones i dropped for DM 2.0. ruclips.net/video/VFyeCUll54E/видео.html
@@PonteRyuurui Ahh, apologies. I assumed Ponte was ur 1st name - but thank u for replying, bud - and I'll do as u have suggested. I'm pretty much going through everything u got in what I hope to be a linear and progressive fashion. And likely I'll be chucking a few questions ur way, if that's ok? So please let me know if I'm starting to get on ur nerves (it will be necessary questions only, and not "ffs dude u can find that on ur own" questions). Its just it isn't often u come across someone tutoring in such a comprehensive fashion.

I would to ask what are the PC requirements to make the decals equivalent to the one that you are showing. Also thank you for taking the time to make these vids
Wow ! l like it ,detailed also straight to the point could you make a "beginner friendly " tutorial on meshmachine plug creation ? It would be extremely helpful 🙂
Spend the afternoon creating decals, in vanilla, it works. But i probably miss something...i bake normal and Ao. I use subd displace and shrinkwarp to apply my decals. Did u bake an height map or something else?
@@PonteRyuurui because i really want to understand under the hood. And maybe because i can't afford DM2.0 for the moment. It is really fun to do also..a bit time consuming but...
I wanted to ask, I have used it Weighted Normal I noticed that the shading has been fixed, what do you think about this and why you didn't use it sorry for my bad language 13:40
Hey Ryuurui Dzien Dobry. I am following your advice about selling Decals, a quick question. how can change the material on the decal? for some reason it is coming as plastic material and I cannot change it
I'm still a very early beginner, but I really want to try making a decal pack. But I'm gonna put a shit load of time into it purely because I fear you will see it and hunt me down if its not excellent. :D
@@PonteRyuurui i have a set of Decals ready now and I am itching to put it on GuRd. if you permit can I send it over for you to have a look and give feedback? I totally understand if don't want to entertain this request... totally your decision to say yes or no to it, It'll be taking your time after all. :) Cheers!
Ponte, thanks for this content. I have several of your courses purchased, all very good quality content. I am having an issue that it doesnt seem anyone else has mentioned in the comments. When i bake out my decal the resolution is great, but is badly skewed. it seems to "skew" toward the world origin. When i move the decal around the scene, image seems to point toward world 0. Thoughts?
@@PonteRyuurui do you go by Ryuu? I see everyone call you by that, just want to make sure.... Yes I am in ortho view. Ive tried baking both ways but with the same result.
@@christopherward7630 No worries mate. also, avoid looking at decals in orthographic mode, they will look mangled. So stay in perspective when previewing decals on the model or blender in general.
Pardon me asking, but I am autistic hehe....you mention the planes shouldn't be touched, but can I at least make the plane rectangular to incorporate bigger details?
After your comment about buying a decal pack that was not good I wondered if you can de-construct a decal and re- bake it to a higher quality. I've never tried to make a decal so I don't know what can and can't be done.
Im following the tutorial but when I bake Blender throws and error saying: Python: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\jd\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.91\scripts\addons\DECALmachine\operators\create.py", line 162, in execute packed, decaltype = core.pack_textures(dm, decalpath, textures, size) TypeError: cannot unpack non-iterable NoneType object location: :-1 Do you why is this happening?
It depends on how you bake them. I think my decals are the only ones on the market baked at 1024. All others I saw or bought were at 512 - so not good enough, at least for me. I do not work with SP, but the new DM 2.0 will come with auto atlas map baking. In 1.9 you need to create atlas maps manually. Also, trim sheets coming as well. 2.0 is about to drop. I would love to see 2048 res in 2.0 for baking, and i do not give a flying donkey's fuck how long it would take to bake it. Quality is all I care about.
So I have a problem where decal machine stops showing the add decal option in the pie menu after using it once, and only works again after restarting blender, not even turning off the internet works and that is the only solution I can find online
only 5 minutes into the video and I'm already surprised :) Why are yhou not using HOPs bevel and weighted normals? I'm using them all the time (for custom decals) and it works fine :)
send me your decals and i will show you the issue - make ones that have flat surfaces, and bake them in 1024, then let me have a look - here is an example of what i have in mind gumroad.com/products/XKZoE Unless things have changed in past months to a degree that bevels and WN do not break the shading of the alpha map , i d be careful with hops bevels. They also do not work with transfer normals via mesh machine, and after speaking to Machin3 and Jerry there is no way of fixing it at the moment due to blender coding. With DM 2.0 maybe things will change, higher bit maps of the alpha maps could be a solution there.
@@PonteRyuurui Ok further into video and I see the issue. However for me this stuff would be pretty much invisible. RIght now I'm working Diablo-ish game and the decals are made from one 2048* big decal trim sheet. Maybe in 1st person shooter if you really looking for it you would be able to spot some issues. But most of the times the decals in games are quite small. If you are working on some high detailed stuff for portfolio that can be different story for sure.
@@berca76 I am actually trying it right now to see how it works with hops bevels, but I had lots of failed decals because of auto bevels before, and dont get me wrong, if i could go hops bevels i would be all over that thing because even my pillow is made of hops. 2048 cannot be baked with DM, are you baking them manually? Because maybe that is why you get away with it, the bit depth of the DM maps is only 8 bit, and that is not enough tonal shifts to support minimal height differences and imperfections or what not. It is not always that the shading breaks, but once you mess it up, it is a done deal, also with hops you can stack bevels, but it is easier to control bevel segments with manual beveling, and decals are a really precision game if you go for maximum quality, which is the only way i do things. Pretty much invisible it means it is still there and I can see it and it bothers me. My decals are pristine, because i love my mechs to look hot., and i am a perfectionist, shit has to be spotless or i cant sleep. Also, I work only on hard surface stuff so lots of metallic reflective and flat surfaces, it really is visible. Game assets, thats another story, but even there I want my models to have perfect shading. I think think that once you start dropping quality in one place because "it is pretty much invisible", you will start dropping the ball elsewhere. Human nature. Thats why most of the games now are eye candies with shit stories. I do not care how long it takes, if it takes longer then charge more for the work.
Yeah Decal madness!!! "I don't want to see some shit decal packs on gumroad" XDD, i was thinking of creating a pack myself, now im gonna be double extra careful before posting anything ahah. Thank you for the good stuff, im a fan of what you are doing right now, keep it up!

@@PonteRyuurui moly s**t, beast hardware and yet it take almost 3 minutes for a simpleton's bake? I cannot understand why Blender baking part still being outside the radar of the 2.9 improvements plan ://
