How to control the affecting areas of Decals

[Oliver.J]

Hi there,

When using Decals in D5, sometimes we want them to take effects on some certain models/surfaces, but they always affect other objects placed over them.

To solve this problem, for now we have a workaround. Since every decal is working as an independent object, the actual affecting area is related to the size of its “bounding box”, which looks like a wireframe box.

Therefore, we can adjust the size of decals to control where it takes effects from 3D perspective. (Normally we adjust the height, X axis, as shown on the screenshot, and remember to unlock the 3 axes first)

Hope it can help.

Thanks,
Oliver
