Create Edge Decal

Create Edge Decal is an addon for blender that helps you create meshes for Edge Decal.
You just have to select the edge that will be under the decal and call the tool.
The tool contains 2 mesh settings and 3 UV.
Mesh Feature

  1. Size decal
  2. Indent from the mesh

UV Feature
3. The number of columns in the texture
4. The current column on the texture
5. Vertical or horizontal texture

! The addon does not work with materials and inside the blender. It creates meshes for subsequent export to game engines

Demonstration, add-on vs manual

Update v0.2
Now selected edges which form a line become a single decal without useless polygons.
Now you can select and combine all decals into one object or not.

Sweet just what I was looking for! There are though few issues, like now all created corners are separate if selected multiple edges connected together. Also in some cases, it just does weird things, like corners offset. But for the buck it saves time, hopefully addon will get bit more love.

More information is available so I can fix them.

I will refine some things.

i’ve tried to make arch like A, but making it out of B, or C gives result of D (only vertical is on edge and other ones are faulty)
am i doing something wrong?

it would be cool to assign material to specific material (with decal) instead the one from base.
also it would be usefull if edge was scaled vertically relative to each other(or absloute to texel density?)

I understood. Thank you for informing.

added TODO: the bug with the construction of the corner and the wish with materials and texel density

Bought it 10 minutes ago and tested it - sadly it does not work at all. Well, it works for totally straight edges.

For testing, I created a cube, morphed it and selected the edges.
After applying your addon … the result isn’t usefull at all.

The edge itself is disconnected and the uvs are broken (disconnected).
Well, it was at least just 2$ … but to be honest, in this state, it’s not even worth a penny and feels like a alpha and not ready to be sold. Sorry. :confused:

This is what I would expect:

based on the message @gorion103 , you could conclude that the instrument does not work for the moment as you walk

The tool works exactly as shown in the video. And from the messages on the forum you could see that it does not support loops.

Hello. Recently bought the plugin but it not showing up in blender for some reason. I tried using search bar with name but nothing appears. Adding screenshots if it helps . I’m using Blender 2.91 2

Hello!
You’re definitely in EditMode?

Thank you for the reply. Didn’t knew it existed in the N-Panel. Found it there. Tested and it works. But it still doesn’t show in the search bar for some reason, even if I’m selecting the edge

I checked on stable version 2.91 …

Weird. Not sure what might be causing it from my side. I guess I’ll have to use it from N-panel for now. Thank you for taking the time to reply
