Plugins + Scripts Live Decals

Live Decals​

---

The idea is to give you another creative layer to play with. Use them for small expressive details, animated tattoos, eye effects, moving symbols, projected light, full-body effects or something completely different. You can keep things subtle or go completely overboard. Experiment with it!

Live Decals can also be integrated into Timeline, so individual decal actions can become part of your animations and scenes. Trigger effects at specific moments, start or stop playback, change what's happening as a scene progresses or combine multiple decals into something more elaborate.

One thing to keep in mind is that performance depends heavily on the GIFs you use. Resolution, number of frames, frame rate, the number of active layers, and how much of the body a decal is covering can all make a difference. A small animation covering a tiny area is naturally much lighter than a high-resolution GIF being stretched across a large portion of the body. More pixels being updated means more work. There are memory controls built in to help you keep an eye on heavier setups, but it's still worth experimenting to find the right balance for your system and scene.

I've tried my best to make the UI straightforward and intuitive, so hopefully you can jump in, add something, position it and start playing around without needing to study a wall of instructions first.

There are a lot of possible combinations here, different GIF formats, resolutions, skins, decal setups, plugins and workflows, so there's simply no way I can test every single edge case myself. If you run into unintended behaviors, visual glitches, compatibility issues, performance oddities or anything that doesn't behave the way you'd expect, please let me know. The more information you can give me about what you were doing when it happened, the more helpful it is.

And I'd genuinely love to hear your feedback, ideas and feature suggestions too. If something feels awkward to use, you think a control could be clearer, or you find yourself wishing Live Decals could do something it currently can't, let me know. I'm especially interested in seeing the weird and creative ways people end up using it.

Have fun experimenting and can't wait to see what you make with it ♡

Potential Use Cases​

The examples below show just a few potential uses for Live Decals, including hypnotic animated eyes, moving cheek blush lines, projector's light effects across the skin and expressive Japanese manpu-style symbols.
Those are only a starting point, and I'm sure there are plenty of uses I haven't even thought of yet. I'll keep updating this section as I find new inspiration and come up with more ideas to showcase.
