Creating and Applying Decals

You can create and apply decals onto a 3D geometry using a single command. The context toolbar lets you select the location onto which the decal is applied and also lets you access the Appearance Edition dialog box.

Before you begin:
  • Install Rendering Scene Design through one of your role to create, modify, and visualize decals.
  • You need an LRE license to visualize decals in ray tracing mode.
