## Browse, Import and Scatter Decals Without Leaving Unreal Engine
3DTexel Portal is a free editor plugin that connects your 3DTexel account to Unreal Engine. Browse your entire decal library in a dedicated panel, import assets with a single click, and scatter them across any surface with a paint brush — no manual file downloads, no external software.
> V1 — Decal Portal. PBR textures, 3D models and HDRIs are coming in a future free update.
---
### Decal Library Browser
Access 286+ free decals available to every registered user, plus every AI-generated decal you have created or purchased on [3dtexel.com](https://3dtexel.com). Thumbnails load asynchronously inside the panel. Search by name, filter by AI or Handmade source type, and scroll through your full library without switching windows.
---
### One-Click Import & Drag-Drop Placement
Click Import on any tile — the plugin downloads albedo, normal, opacity and roughness textures, imports them into `/Game/3DTexel/Decals/{slug}/`, creates a fully-configured Material Instance, and places a Decal Actor in your scene automatically.
Prefer freeform placement? Drag a tile directly from the panel onto any surface for pixel-accurate drop positioning.
---
### Brush Scatter Mode
Activate Paint Mode on any imported decal and paint it across surfaces by clicking or dragging in any viewport. Configure:
- Roll ± — random rotation jitter in degrees
- Scale Min / Max — randomised scale range
- Random Flip — mirror on Y axis
- Reset — restore defaults instantly
Exit with Escape or the panel's Exit button.

### Live Resolution Control (Non-Destructive)
Every tile shows resolution badges matching the decal's native resolution: 4K · 2K · 1K · 512. Click any badge to switch the active LOD bias — all imported textures update immediately with no reimport required. Change your mind later with zero cost.

### Four Material Modes
Choose how each decal writes to the DBuffer:
| Mode | Effect |
|------|--------|
| Full | Albedo + Normal + Roughness |
| No Albedo | Normal + Roughness only — preserves base colour |
| Normal Only | Adds surface detail without changing colour or roughness |
| Roughness Only | Modifies surface finish only |
---
### Depth Parallax & Projection Mask
The base material includes Parallax Occlusion Mapping for a convincing sense of depth, and a projection mask that prevents the decal from bleeding onto adjacent geometry — clean results on complex surfaces.

### Endless AI Library
The decal catalogue is powered by the 3DTexel AI Decal Generator. Every new decal you generate on 3dtexel.com appears instantly in the portal. There is no fixed catalogue limit.
