Why we like it

Decal Scatter stands out in the superhive library for turning decal placement into a one-click procedural step that works across Eevee and Cycles, backed by bundled decals, example scenes, and free lifetime updates.

What is Decal Scatter?

Decal Scatter is an add-on from Thatimster for adding randomized decals to any mesh in Blender procedurally with one click. It covers uses such as bullet holes on an object, leaves on the street, craters on a planet, and repeating designs. The add-on works with both Eevee and Cycles.

The download bundles the add-on itself along with decals, example scenes, an installation guide, and a manual. Included scenes cover a street with leaves, a bullet hole setup, money on a street, and a seamless design, while additional decals and advanced scenes such as a moon crater scene, a poster cylinder scene, and a hard surface scene are also part of the offering. Both PBR and non-PBR decals are provided.

Released under the GPL license and listed as Blender Extension compatible, Decal Scatter supports Blender versions 4.2 through 5.1. The v1.1 update added Blender 2.80 support along with minor bug fixes and changes to the node structure, and the add-on comes with free lifetime updates.
