Decals not working on objects in T3D
by Dustin Sims · in Torque 3D Beginner · 11/14/2009 (6:31 pm) · 6 replies
Is there a reason that decals will render on the terrain but not on my objects (dts-from Collada).
I can see the frame once there placed and it allows moving, rotating, etc, but no decal there.

Thanks Steve.
I hadnt setup any collision yet and it defaults to collision mesh which none of my models have.
I set to Visible mesh and voila! They render nicely.
Kinda odd functionality you think. I would think everyone would want them to render on the visble mesh regardless of collision settings but at least it works.

This is mainly a performance optimization as clipping decals is not a really fast operation on dense triangle meshes.

In 1.1 you can select on your TSStatic how decals are clipped on that shape... if you use the visible mesh, collision mesh, or no decals.This is mainly a performance optimization as clipping decals is not a really fast operation on dense triangle meshes.
