Decals mapped to custom geometry?

Mesh decals and spline decals are sorely missing in Unreal Engine 4. The detail they add to environments and the flexibility of working with them cannot be replaced by the current ‘deferred decal actors’ system.
They are the best way to add local details to levels and environments.
GTA V has used this extensively to great effect.
I’m actually desperate to see this system implemented in UE4.

you should check out the dirt kickup particle effect in the advanced vehical demo, it has a smart decal system for the tire tracks
