The Decal tool provides an easy way to project one material on top of another regardless of the target UV set. The projected material conforms to the form of the object.

Multiple Decals can be stacked on top of each other, and their overlapping is controlled by the parameters of each Decal object or by their position in the scene.

The Decal parameters are grouped into Basic settingsGeneral, VariationProjection, and Distribution and Stats Options tabs.
