Now Avalible!
Thank you for your interest in Magic Decal! Below you will find links to both my Ko-fi and Booth shops. If you are looking for my most recent assets head over to my Ko-Fi. :D
How to Use
Magic decal is intended to be as easy to use as possible for both regular users of Unity and complete beginners, should you come across any issues feel free to reach out on my discord, you can find an invite in the support section on this website.Section 1 - 2 Main Shaders
Once you download Magic Decal you will notice it comes in 2 flavors. Magic Decal and Magic Decal+.Magic Decal: Support for Opaque rendering and Transparency/Additive Rendering. Limited to 1 copy at a time, while you can have multiple copies in the world once they overlap you will notice clipping and Z-Fighting. Use MD+ if you plan to have multiple overlapping effects.Magic Decal+: Only Additive Rendering. Can have unlimited spheres/shader copies overlap with no clipping.Section 2 - Settings
I Highly recommend starting with one of the presets included in the pack and working the preset into the desired effect. Should you want to make a decal from scratch here are the settings and what they do. (I will also be adding some how-to docs for specific effects to this site so make sure you bookmark it and follow me on Twitter for updates)
