       Meanwhile I'm finishing my mesh decal system... this time it also has a fully GPU runtime implementation! I'm going to release it a separate asset, see thread: https://forum.unity.com/threads/bakery-decals-does-anyone-need-this.1373097/

       GPU decals are pretty fast to spawn, so you can even do it every frame...

       Looking at this, I also decided to implement a special "trail" mode for things like tire tracks!

       Something that I should perhaps also mention: lightmaps are a first-class citizen in this system, meaning your decals will always get correct baked lighting from surface underneath.

       Decals are completely mesh-based. Once they're generated, you're basically just drawing a batched mesh with alpha-blending (or without if it's opaque). Meshes can be serialized, optimized, combined, etc, as usual. No need for full-screen DBuffers or having all your materials to know about decals.

       Decal normal mapping (tangents generation) and skinning (currently CPU only, but fast enough) are finished and tested (don't mind the broken bounding box, it's fixed already)

       A bit more of that normal-mapped decal testing

       Having fun making example scenes for the decal system 😅

       Also made drifting fun in my game! (skidmarks exaggerated)
