= Decals =

Decals are used to add detail to geometry. Scorch marks, blood splatters and such can be added with this tool, only thing needed is a proper material and a surface to apply it to.

General Parameters:
* '''Name''': Name of the decal.
* '''Position''': 3D Vector storing the world position of the decal center.
* '''Rotation''': 3D Vector storing the rotation for the decal volume.
* '''Scale''': 3D Vector storing the size of the decal volume.

Specific Parameters:
* '''Affected surface types''': These three buttons will set which types of geometry objects are to be affected by the decal.
* '''Material''': Material file for the decal.
* '''Current SubDiv''': index of the subdivision currently in use. These are numbered in a left to right, up to down order.
* '''Decal Offset''': distance that will separate the decal from the "host" surface.
* '''Max triangles''': maximum number of triangles the decal will use when generating the mesh.
=Decal EditMode=

Decals are used to add detail to geometry. Scorch marks, blood splatters and such can be added with this tool, only thing needed is a proper material and a surface to apply it to.

The EditMode window has some parameters to control the creation, as follows:

Surface types affected''': these buttons will set whether a geometry object will be affected by a decal. Can be Static Objects, Entities and Primitives.'''
Material''': .mat file that will be used by the decal.'''
Angle''': 2D rotation of the decal around the surface normal axis. Can be randomized.'''
Size''': 2D size of the decal.'''
Depth''': if "Use custom depth" is false, this will be the greatest value from the 2D size vector. Else, it will be picked from the input.'''
Color''': color value that will be multiplied by the decal material color.'''
UV SubDivisions''': this input will control if the decal material should be subdivided, and how many subdivisions there will be.'''
Use SubDiv''': this control offers selection of which subdivision should be shown, or just choose a random one on creation.'''
