If you google "decal", you get the correct pronunciation as a playable audio file. The phonetic is /ˈdiːkal/, which would be pronounced as "deeh-kahl".

I grew up pronouncing it "deckle"; switched to "dee-kal" due to peer pressure, and after learning that it's actually short for " decalcomania", I suppose I should be saying "d' kal" (like "demand" except replace the "mand" with "kal". Whew!

Apparently, decal is pronounced 'deckle' in Canada. www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/9ooq8f/why_do_canadians_pronounce_decal_so_differently/

This video has omits a few very important details. - Orthographic camera size is in meters. 2.0 is exactly the size of the plane, but you'll want that to be slightly smaller because otherwise it causes artifacts at the edges of the decal. - The default color of the material is not completely white, your normal matcap is slightly darker than it should be, set viewport color to single, pure white. - Failing to untick "save as render" means your image is saved in filmic transform with dithering by default. Normalmaps are to be interpreted as data, not colors, and unticking it bypasses color management. - The default matcap has artifacts. Not enough to notice in most cases but in case that bothers you the proper way to get a perfectly clean normalmap is through a material: geometry normal -> add vector 1.0,1.0,1.0 -> vector scale 0.5 -> surface output. Then disable EEVEE effects like bloom and AO, set color management to sRGB Raw, adjust dithering as desired, and leave Save as Render ticked when saving.

Something you missed when saving, is to make sure your color space is set to RAW, rather than filmic or anything else. Otherwise your normal map won't be as accurate because there's post processing color transforms on it. Setting it to raw fixes that.

I don't think it matters for viewport rendering. Changing the post-process settings don't seem to change anything in the viewport, only Eevee/Cycles. Unless the viewport render actually does some extra stuff behind the scenes. But why would it? The feature is just there to preview a scene, not a final render.

If you make some Mix Shader prioritizing the material of a second object (like a bolt) and export it, you end up with not only Normal Map but also the Color Texture and everything else of the bolt. That's really nice. Does the same Substance Painter does with even less work. Then you just go around your object CTRL+SHIFT+Ding your bolt and stamping it to the surface following normal, easy peasy

It never would have occurred to me to use the Normal matcap in this way, and yet now it seems so obvious. True genius.

that boolean + bevel + auto smooth trick at around 8:56 is something i needed to see! thanks for the great tutorial.

Decal is normally pronounced "dee-cahl" in the US and most English speaking countries and regions. This is mainly because the pronunciation falls in line with words like "desaturate", "decline", "denote", "demerit" and so on as the "de" is by default pronounced "dee" and not "deh". In an often wildly inconsistent language like English, this is one of the few, if arbitrary, instances of consistency.

I know I'm a year late but THANK you, Doc! It's too petty for me to go on a diatribe about, but, if he was trying to cute with that pronunciation like some people do he should have stopped because it was _so annoying_! It's gotta be the stupidest one I can wreck all. Sorry, I meant 'recall'. Also, we don't need a vote. If only we had free dictionaries available online. Every single solitary one of them would probably tell you the pronunciations available. I think there's one with a difficult to remember URL like...dictionary.com or something. Who can remember that, though. I guess it saves time when making a 14 minute video. ~sigh~ There, I feel better. Good video, though. :-P Chunk! (Or is it pronounced Chuck?) Let's take a vote!

This is great and really worked for me on a model, once I'd taken off the shadows and cavity render. Only problem was when I used this normal map in Substance Painter I had to load it into Photoshop and invert the Y. Is there a way to do this in the matcap?

Nice tutorial! So, if we wanted to create arrays of such surface details -- rivets, screw heads, and so on, what would be the workflows for doing that? I can imagine doing that in 3D via modifiers, arraying the decal geo, but does the texture painting process in Blender facilitate that? I'm pretty sure Substance Painter can make that easy.

AWESOME~~!!

@cg_cookie

3 жыл бұрын

Matcaps work well for Normals, since they both rely on surface normals and camera projection angle. For other PBR maps, there are other factors that matcaps don't really account for (such as intersection, occlusion, etc.), that are needed to make solid maps. I'm not saying it's impossible, if you could manage it that would be incredibly handy, that being said I do see it as being very challenging to accomplish. -Chunck :)

Now I can see how Substance made their Hard Surface decals in Substance Painter or at least the result is quite the same. I absolutely like that normal MatCap so is there a way to bake normal with such an amazing quality presented there? If we for example using final model like a single wall and then start to modify it the way we doing in this video there's no chance to add details to a normal texture without using external soft as above-mentioned Substance Painter or Photoshop?

You simply go into texture paint mode. In the right options menu on the viewport, you can somewhere select your normal map to paint on. If you dont have one yet, the + button right next to your already existing maps lets you create one in 2 clicks. Now in your brush settings under texture create a new texture. This texture can now grab the decal as an image. (you do that in the general textures tab) Now play around with the paint methods. Youll find a Stencil option thats useful for some things. For things like the button there is a option I forgot the name of. you'll find it where you also select 'dots' or 'drag dots' I guess in the strokes option.... it lets you hold a left mouseclick on the mesh and drag the decal to the right size for every individual placement... sorry I cant tell you how its called but that thing is the best for most normal decals You can set this up in an empty project, save a bunch of brushes as own brush presets and save the project as your startup file. That saves you from setting up the right brush types and textures everytime... lastly you'll also find options to overlay your paint (all those basic photoshop layer options) Lots to choose but overlay is the one when you want to add normal detail without loosing whats already there and normal is the one when you want to replace the normals below. I think thats about all you'll need to start right. If anythings not clear...

you covered the whole mesh. that's a texture if you ask me. isn't a decal a detail on top of the texture, like small screws at the corners of the faces? could you do that tutorial too?

Is creating a normal map like this better than baking one using cycles bake settings???

Would love to be able to set the resolution

The thing that I got from this tutorial apart from the work process is that I'm sure you did it in eevee and not by baking in cycles, correct ??? If so this will make it very easy to create normal maps . Well done anyway on producing an easy to follow tutorial.

Thanks for the ˈdēkal tutorial. The first vowel is long (says its name) either because it's a vowel next to another vowel separated by a consonant; or it has to do with the fact that the vowels are in distinctly separate syllables.

Hi Why is half of my texture grey and noisy when baked. Im baking combined and colored texture. Should I bake differently if I bake a clored texture?

I love to bind my decal texture to null object and then place them over an object, like in Unreal.

I mean, what you could have done instead of shade smooth and modifiers just just to use auto smooth in the normals tab, wouldn't that work?
