CarlosGameDev - Edge Decal Tools 1.1

Documentation

Edge Decal Tools is a powerful and time-saving script tool designed for Unreal Engine that makes placing edge decals on geometry incredibly easy and efficient. Whether you're detailing assets or polishing your environments, this tool handles all the tedious placement work for you—no more manual adjustments!

The pack includes a rich library of sample edge decals to get you started quickly. But it doesn't stop there: it also comes with an additional Mesh Decal Tool, which lets you place static meshes across surfaces in a quick and intuitive workflow. These mesh decals are highly customizable and can be used as either regular static meshes or instanced static meshes, depending on your performance needs.

Both tools are built to streamline your workflow and massively cut down the time spent on repetitive tasks. Whether you're an environment artist or technical artist, Edge Decal Tools will become an essential part of your pipeline.

Features

⚙️ Place edge decals effortlessly on any geometry with a powerful script-based tool – no more manual tweaking

⏱️ Saves you hours (or even days) of manual placement work – the tools handle alignment, orientation, and positioning for you.

🧰 Includes 11 high-quality edge decal examples ready to use out of the box.

🪄 Comes with a bonus tool: Mesh Decal Tool, which allows you to place static meshes as if they were decals – perfect for modular or layered detail work.

📦 Mesh Decal Tool includes 4 sample mesh decals to kickstart your workflow.

🧲 Apply decals on both outer and inner corners – ideal for detailing not just protruding edges but also indented and inset surfaces.

🧱 Generate Static Meshes or Instanced Static Meshes – ideal for performance optimization.

🚫 Does not use splines, making it significantly more efficient, performant and easier to control than spline-based alternatives.

🔄 Works on any surface or material – whether it’s brick, stucco, concrete, or plain white walls, edge decals apply cleanly and remain intact. You can change the underlying material at any time and the system will continue to work flawlessly.

🎛️ Smart material scaling system prevents texture stretching – decals automatically adapt their scale based on the edge length, so you don’t have to adjust anything manually.

🌫️ Optimized with fade-out controls for smooth visual transitions and minimal visual noise in dense environments.

💡 Perfect for environment artists, level designers, and technical artists who want to speed up their detailing workflow without sacrificing quality.

🧩 Handles messy or complex geometry with ease – place decals even on uneven surfaces, overlapping geometry, Z-fighting areas, or poorly aligned meshes without hassle.

This tool is gonna save me so much time. I’ve been checking the example materials and they look incredible. I’ve also been playing around with it and it’s so simple to use! To be honest, such a good purchase!

Just remember that you need your models to have Complex Collision or very precise normal collisions! :smiley:
