Blood Veins

I want to make blood vessels on a body, so when I take blood you would see it. should I make it with a Decal or material? if so, how?

Hello,

Interesting question, I used an asset from the A-COM animation sample for experimentation/demonstration.

I exported the ‘skin’ and drew veins on it.

I then exported the veins as a separate mask.

And then combined them in a Material

With this setup you could also ‘pulse’ the veins by pulsing the ‘EmissiveBoost’ parameter that was created.

The only way I could imagine this working with a Decal based approach is if the Arm/Character is completely still. (Decals are basically like shining a projector onto something)
