Is there a way to display the decal on only 1 side of the mesh? As you can see from my PG, it displays on both sides, and also wraps around the edge of the mesh. Which is not ideal because I’d like it to only display on the bottom. Also, the image seems flipped. I would assume it would have to do w…

@brandon , now I understand more about what you are trying to achieve… I wasn’t aware you wanted to swap out the decals before. So there are a few ways you can approach this, one being splitting the mesh into two and assigning different materials containing the textures you need for each surface. Tha…

How’s this for texture mapping? :smiley: How to put text on one side of cube only? - #2 by JohnK

Thanks for your suggestion. I don’t think this is useful because my mesh is imported and has a ton of faces. Is there not an example of applying a decal to a specific part of a mesh? I really appreciate the answers. I would also like to know if it’s possible to apply the decal to specific faces th…

Gonna ping @PatrickRyan if he knows a thing or 2 about texture wrapping/mapping :slight_smile:

@brandon , what you are looking for is UV unwrapping your model. The UVs are texture coordinates that you use to wrap color/normal/AO/emissive/etc around your mesh. You will want to separate each face of the deck from each other and from the edge of the deck and place them in UV space as islands that…

Thanks, I really appreciate your response. This helped me clean up the uv map in blender. So I think I might have a couple options here… The problem with the UV map is that I will have to create a new image for the UV to display the bottom graphic every time it changes. The most efficient way I t…

Thank you so much for this amazing help! You are truly a hero. I really could not have done it without you, and thank you @msDestiny14 for pinging @PatrickRyan ! A+++ to you sir! Cheers! :beers: EDIT: Actually one more thing, everything works great, the only problem now is that decals with transp…

@brandon , I’m happy to help. If you have an image with alpha, you only need to mix in the alpha with the mask coming out of the step node. We can easily do this by taking the oneMinus of the decal alpha and then using a max node with the step to create the combined lerp gradient. You can see it here…

This is great! I think I am questioned out now… Thanks a lot! The information is extremely helpful.

@PatrickRyan Hey man! So this has been working excellent. Now I’m at the point where I need additional customizations to my mesh. I am trying to add another decal texture to the top of the skateboard. You did mention about how I should have my textures to 30% of the width of the uv map. I tried to…

Hi @brandon , glad to hear that you are making progress. I can certainly help you with adding decals to the top as well. The first thing I would do, however, is to slighly alter your base texture to reduce on some unneeded texels which will bloat your textures for download. Instead of UVing your mode…
