Decal Flow keeps the decal design process inside Blender by using its precision modeling tools. The developer has outlined a roadmap of planned updates, stated to be provided free of cost.
Decal Flow is an add-on for Blender that specializes in projecting mesh-based decal designs to other mesh surfaces. It can also generate meshes from images, giving you a way to add decals to your models entirely inside Blender without reaching for external software.
Decals are designed using Blender's edit mode tools, working in a grid-based structure using faces. The download includes a sample blend file for practising alongside the video tutorial. The add-on is built for concept artists sketching scenes and game artists who want to bake decals into a final low-poly mesh as textures.
The developer has planned future updates including projection on multiple separate meshes, projecting images using planes and grids, list UI enhancements and additional draw controls. Future updates are stated to be free of cost. Decal Flow is a Dev Fund contributor and works with the Cycles and Eevee render engines.
Decal Flow is best for concept artists sketching scenes and game artists baking decals into low-poly meshes as textures.
Decal Flow is completely free to download and use.
Decal Flow is listed for Blender version 5.0 and is marked as Blender Extension compatible. It is provided as an add-on and uses the Cycles and Eevee render engines. Before installing, it's worth checking the developer's page for the current listed compatibility, since add-on requirements can change with newer Blender releases. The download also includes a sample blend file you can use to practise alongside the video tutorial.
Decal Flow is listed as free here in the catalog. For current licensing terms and any purchase details, check the developer's page directly. Decal Flow is released under the GPL license, and the developer states that future updates will be provided free of cost. The listing also notes it is a Dev Fund contributor and includes support from Blender Guppy along with product updates.
Decal Flow does not require any external software to add decals to your models. It works entirely inside Blender, using edit mode tools to design decal shapes in a grid-based structure built from faces. The add-on projects those mesh-based designs onto other mesh surfaces and can also generate meshes from images, keeping the whole decal workflow within Blender. A sample blend file is included in the download for practising.
Decal Flow includes documentation and a sample blend file in the download, so you can practise using the add-on hands-on. A video tutorial is available covering the first iteration of the add-on, and the included sample file is meant to be used alongside it. The listing also notes that support from Blender Guppy and product updates are included with the download.
