Decal Stamps

Decal stamps allow 2D images to be projected onto terrain and models.
It is easy to understand if you imagine a scene where images are projected onto a wall or other surface using a projector.
Decal stamps can not only be placed on maps as objects, but can also be used as graphics for events.

How to Use Decals

Creating and Using Decal Stamps

  1. Press the Add button in the Resources > Decal Stamp list.
    In the "Resources" tab or "Local Files" tab of the Asset Picker that opens, select an image/texture to generate a decal stamp.
    A material will be generated using the image you specified automatically in Resources > Materials. In addition, images/textures selected in the Asset Picker will automatically be given the Management Tag #3D and will appear in the Resources > Textures list.
    (!)Note that if you create a decal by selecting an image outside the project in the Asset Picker > "Local Files" tab, it will be registered in Resources > Textures.
  2. Newly added decal stamps are placed in the Map Editor > Stamps Palette > Objects tab.
    If you create a folder in the Decal Stamp List, the created folder will also appear in the tree on the Objects tab.
  3. Select a decal stamp from the Stamps Palette>Objects tab and place it on a map.
    (!)If you move the camera in the Map Editor after placement and find that there is an angle at which the decal grazes, try moving the position of the decal stamp so that it is slightly pressed against the projection plane.

    (!)When projecting onto a surface that is at an angle or corner, the decal stamp must be rotated.
    Picture in your mind what you are projecting with a projector and adjust the position and angle.
