Why we like it

Perfect Decal earns its place in the superhive library for pairing a one-click decal setup with unlimited layers and per-decal HSL and material controls in Blender.

What is Perfect Decal?

Perfect Decal by Kromines is a decal system for Blender that installs onto any existing material through a one-click setup. Decals apply on any object or material, and you can add unlimited layers, reordering their stacking order at any time.

Each decal carries its own controls for opacity, normal intensity, and scale, along with material adjustments for diffuse intensity, roughness, and normal strength. Per-decal HSL controls let you fine-tune hue, saturation, and lightness individually. Decals work with full PBR maps or just a single transparent PNG image.

The workflow stays non-destructive and organized, avoiding manual node setups. Perfect Decal runs on the Cycles and Eevee render engines, works with Blender 5.0, and is released under the GPL license. A demo video is available on the developer's page.

Who is Perfect Decal best for?

Perfect Decal is best for blender artists applying layered decals to existing materials with per-decal opacity, HSL, PBR, and material controls.

How much does Perfect Decal cost?

Perfect Decal is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Perfect Decal work with Blender 5.0?

Perfect Decal is built for Blender 5.0. It adds a complete decal system to an existing material through a one-click setup, so decals can be applied to any object or material. It works with both the Cycles and Eevee render engines, giving you flexibility across Blender's main rendering options. For confirmation of compatibility with your specific setup or any other Blender versions, check the developer's page before installing.

Does Perfect Decal support transparent PNG decals?

Perfect Decal supports both full PBR maps and a single transparent PNG image, so you can use detailed material data or a simple transparent graphic depending on the decal. Each decal also carries its own opacity, normal intensity, and scale controls, plus per-decal HSL adjustments for hue, saturation, and lightness. Material adjustments cover diffuse intensity, roughness, and normal strength, letting you tune the appearance of every layer individually rather than settling for one shared look.

How many decal layers can Perfect Decal add?

Perfect Decal supports unlimited decal layers, so you can add as many as you want without a cap. You can reorder those layers at any time to change how they stack, and the workflow stays non-destructive and organized without manual node setups. Combined with per-layer controls for opacity, normal intensity, and scale, this makes it possible to build up and rearrange decal stacks on a single material while keeping the setup clean.

Is Perfect Decal free, and what license does it use?

Perfect Decal is listed as free here, and it is released under the GPL license. Licensing terms can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current details before you rely on it for a project. The plugin adds a one-click decal system to Blender materials, works with the Cycles and Eevee render engines, and keeps the workflow non-destructive, so you can evaluate whether it fits your pipeline under those license terms.
