Here's my first modeling challenge!
I've modeled a form and I want you guys to attempt the same thing. 😤
Guidelines for this: Quote reply with your solution smoothed and with wires. Must be subdiv only!
Next week, I'll post my solution! 😄

It's necessary to convert legacy decals to ones compatible with the upcoming
#DECALmachine
release for
#b3d
2.80.
This can now be done with a single button press per decal library.
The decal experience in eevee is just something else. And these aren't even projected yet.

I think this is the most artist friendly approach out there. It builds on the otvinta algo, but takes it further. No cleanup needed.

Releasing OffsetCut as an experimental feature was a last minute decision.
As a result this ngon-loop-select capability is undocumented for Select/LSelect, because it's really only useful - but very much so - in this specific context.

In
#DECALmachine
1.8+ you can easily select an object's decals by double clicking it.
In 1.9 you'll be able to just as easily select decals or the same kind as the selected one - per decal parent or across all visible objects. Simple, but very effective and convenient.

Align Relative now supports multiple objects at once, including entire groups. It will now also deal with mirror mods and adapt the mirror objects accordingly.

"Auto-matching" is material matching, based on raycasts and only of the outside, so non-subset parts of decal materials.

If you start from a single point and use Blendulate on it, it will create a circular bevel - when AutoTension is used, which will set the tension based on the angle at the curve point to

In the upcoming 2.0 release, you can do manually adjust trim locations using the TrimAdjust tool directly in the 3D view.
Note how the movement is always natural in 3d space, and compare how this translates into UV space.
