Creation and customization

A decal is created just like other objects and located in 'Base\Scene common'. After creating the object, you need to configure the Material property.

Limitations

Decals work only with deferred rendering, forward rendering is not supported. Also, the decal material must support deferred rendering.

Advanced blending

Using the advanced blending settings in Material, you can create a wide variety of types of decals. For example, you can create footprints in the snow that affect only the geometry and do not have a color component.
