Omni Object Decal
An omni object decal is an object decal projected onto the surface by means of omnidirectional projection (in 6 directions). The decal is based on 3 ellipsoids with the same sized major axes. Omni decals can be used, for example, to simulate splashes.

Creating an Omni Object Decal
To create an omni object decal choose an Add Object Decal option in the list of nodes in Editor panel. In the opened creation dialog window choose the Omni tab and specify initial parameters:
| Material | The material of the decal. |
|---|---|
| Radius | The length of the major axis of each ellipsoid, in units. |
After the initial parameters are set, press Ok button and place the decal somewhere in the world (for the decal to be projected, the projection circle should intersect the surface).
Editing an Omni Object Decal
In the Decal tab you can adjust the following parameters of the omni object decal:
Setting Options
A set of options for the decal:
| Dynamic creation | Indicates if a decal is created dynamically. |
|---|---|
| Two sided | Indicates if a decal is two-sided. |
Setting Bit Masks
A set of bit-masks available for the decal:
| Decal | A mask of the decal, specifying the objects onto which the decal can be projected. |
|---|---|
| Light | A light mask, specifying light sources illuminating the decal. |
| Viewport | A viewport mask, specifying if the decal can be seen in the camera's viewport. |
Projection Parameters
Parameters of the decal projection:
| Offset | An offset of the decal towards the projection center, in units. |
|---|---|
| Radius | The length of the major axis of each ellipsoid, in units. |
| ZNear | The value of the near clipping plane, ranging from 0 to 1. |
Life-time Parameters
Life-time and fade-out parameters:
| Life time | A time period during which the decal will be projected, in seconds. |
|---|---|
| Fade time | A time period during which the decal will fade away (after its life time exceeds), in seconds. |
Visibility Parameters
Parameters controlling decal's visibility depending on the distance:
| Min visible | A minimum visibility distance, starting at which the decal begins to fade in and then becomes completely visible, in units. |
|---|---|
| Fade | A minimum fade-in distance, across which the decal smoothly becomes visible due to the alpha fading. It is counted starting from the minimum visibility distance value, in units. |
| Max visible | A maximum visibility distance, starting at which the decal begins to fade out until becomes completely invisible, in units. |
|---|---|
| Fade | A maximum fade-out distance, across which the decal smoothly becomes invisible due to the alpha fading. It is counted starting from the maximum visibility distance value, in units. |
Texture Coordinates Transformation
Decal's texture coordinates transformation (a texture atlas can also be used):
| ScaleX | A texture scale along the X-axis. For example, by the scale of 2 the texture is repeated twice on one decal. |
|---|---|
| TranslateX | A texture offset along the X-axis. For example, by the offset of 0.5 along the X axis the texture is repositioned to the right (so that the edge of the texture is rendered in the center). |
| ScaleY | A texture scale along the Y-axis. |
|---|---|
| TranslateY | A texture scale along the Y-axis. |
Setting a Material
A material selection:
| Material | A new material of the decal. |
