Using Decals in Unity
Objective: Learn what is a Decal and how to use it.
So we want to understand what is a Decal, and how to use it. Decal is a graphical overlay applied to surfaces in a scene to simulate additional detail. They are usually used to enhance the realism and visual fidelity of environments.
Imagine that you have your wall and a character gets shot, there would be blood everywhere, right ? What happens when the surface of said blood, is not flat, how would the blood be applied in this situation ?|
This is where Decals come in, they can overlay the surface and apply the blood, regardless of the type of surface that it is.
As we can see, when using Decals its easy to simply add our effect, such as blood, bullet, graffiti, etc, into walls and other surface elements, even with complex geometry, that it will overlay it correctly as needed.
