QuickDecals 2 - Easily Add Unique Detail and Interest to Your Scene (MAJOR update!)

There are not any plans to support rendering spritesheets w/ normals at the moment, sorry!

 

Can we expect to ever see some updates on this tool?

Apart from a bug fix 7 months ago, it's not been updated or improved for some time and there's quite a few valid requests pending.

It'll really be nice to see some updates.

 

aaaand its gone haha

 

Hello,
Can I apply a decal on the back of a character (skinnedmesh) dynamically by scripting ?
Thanks

 

Hi there- we've been focusing on ProBuilder and Polybrush, while keeping these smaller tools up-to-date with Unity versions, but no major changes. We know that's an issue, and are planning some big updates for all these "utility tools", hopefully in the coming month. Sorry to make you wait!

You could probably do this, but QuickDecals currently only places a single, flat poly for the texture, so it probably wouldn't look very good on a character? Unless it's a flat surface.

 

Hi,

We've started to have issues with QuickDecals starting with unity 5.5. Whenever we try to make/place a decal we get the errors from the screenshot.



Could you please advice?

 

Hi Maverick- sorry, I'm not able to open that image for some reason.

However, could you repost with full details, to our official Support Forum at "www.procore3d.com/forum" ? We need the following info also:

-Full version of Unity (ie, 5.5.0f3)
-Version of QuickDecals
-Can you replicate this in a new, empty project?
-The actual text of the error (better than an image, for searching)

Thanks! -GW

 

Hi, posted as requested on support forums: http://www.procore3d.com/forum/topic/2088-quick-decals-2-nre-when-packing-decals/

 

Hey all, I'm planning on getting this and was just wondering if anyone has any links to decal packages? Not really wanting to make my own. Searching on the asset store but not finding much, maybe I'm just not looking in the right spots.

Thanks!

 

Hi! Love everything in the ProCore Bundle, been great for prototyping and other uses, love it love it.

Quick question RE QuickDecals, just wondering if it's either me doing something wrong or what. If I do the following I have some issues

- Add a bunch of decals, group them up, everything works great
- Pack decals into an atlas, everythings awesome
- Add another decal, so far so good
- Pack decals to another atlas, UH OH!

At this point if I pack the decals to an atlas a second time, decals that have been placed lose their proper uv and become all wonky because the texture has been updated.

Is there a way around this, should I only pack when I'm 100% complete, or am I just simply doing something wrong? If I didn't have a backup before I packed the second time, I would have had to re place about 100 decals.

QuickDecals: 2.0.12
Unity: 5.5.0f3

Thanks!

 

Anybody? Don't wanna buy this and find out I have to make my own decals. Just looking for some basic stuff. Holes, cracks, dirt, blood, random signs, plants/leaves....

Only thing holding me back from purchasing. This thing has 144 reviews, I don't believe everyone of those customers are making their own decals. Share with the group!

edit: was just browsing through the procore forum for quickdecals and cgtextures.com was mentioned. Looks perfect, so disregard this post. Anyone looking for decals check out cgtextures.com (free) or gametextures.com (paid)

 

Placed decals should automatically be re-situated when they're packed into a different atlas. There was an update that addressed some problems with atlasing, could you try updating to 2.1.0?

 

Hi, so I updated to 2.1.0f0 and it's the same issue.

- Add 2 decals
- Atlas
- Everything is fine
- Add another decal
- Unable to add this to the atlas at all (is there a hidden option?)
- Some times "Pack Decals" becomes available
- Pack Decal
- Atlas now includes all 3
- Any previously placed decals in the world have lost their alignment and show up split images

The safest way to do this is to basically never atlas anything until you're 100% complete with everything, but the other issue is, I don't see any way of making multiple atlases? There's a "+" giving the assumption I can make a second atlas, but no obvious UI element showing me how to do so.

Thoughts?

EDIT: I noticed I can manually drag out sprite to the "+" in atlas (which is slightly confusing so I guess you're removing it from the other atlas? So any previously placed decals are the new atlas?) In any event, trying to move images around I got:

ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Argument is out of range.
Parameter name: index
form: qd_Editor.cs:476

Not sure if that was just me doing something odd, just thought I'd point that out, I got 15 of those errors when moving a decal from one atlas to another.

 

To create additional atlases just drag the decals you'd like out into the "+" icon area. The atlas panel behaves just like the Decals panel in that regard.

I do notice sometimes that I'll need to move and reset an icon in the Atlas group to mark the atlases as dirty before packing textures. However once you re-pack all atlases things fall back into place as expected. I've made a ticket to address that inconsistency.

 

Hi,
Does anyone have issue with this asset while using multiple scenes? I have to use it in this way and assets works kind of random. Sometimes it adds decals on active and sometimes on inactive scene. Do you have solution for that?
