  • Decals

    Hi all,

    Anyone know how to get a decal to bend in one direction before being projected?

    Many thanks,

    Hi, there is a "bend" spinner in the VRayDecal itself. Won't that work for you?

        This could be very interesting to have in Decals
        The only solution that you could try would be using VraydistanceTex while modelling the roadmarks, or mapping with Unwrap also you could use with VrayDirt but I prefer DistanceTex

          Cheers Carlos,

          I ended up quickly sweeping a line and applying a checker map.

          I've tried the Vray distance and that works well, just a slightly longer setup.

          It was more a question about the decals being a bit more flexible, otherwise fab.

          Thanks again,

          Jason
