Xdecal Painter – Viewport Decal Painting Made Simple
Bring your environments to life with Xdecal Painter, an Unreal Engine editor-only plugin that lets you paint decals directly in the viewport, just like using the Foliage tool. No more dragging decals from the Content Browser or wrestling with Outliner clutter — simply select as many decal materials as you wish, set your brush, and paint.
🎨 Key Features
Brush-based painting – place decals with adjustable radius, spacing, scatter, and density.
Live previews – see ghost decals, brush rings, and spacing guides before committing.
Smart erasing – hold Shift + LMB to remove decals within a brush radius.
Randomization – add variation in scale, rotation, and weighted materials for natural results.
Advanced filters – control placement by height, slope, and edge detection for precise art direction.
Overlap prevention – avoid clutter and stacking with automatic spacing safeguards.
Grouping system – automatically parent decals under named group actors for organized Outliners.
🚀 Why Xdecal Painter?
Work faster – paint dozens of decals in seconds instead of manual placement.
Stay organized – group decals logically and reduce Outliner chaos.
Achieve better visuals – randomization and filters make scenes look more natural and polished.
Artist-friendly – intuitive, non-destructive workflow designed for environment art.
