Clipping and/or bending decals
Author
Hello!
I have a decal system up and working, but I have problems with clipping/bending the decal polys to mesh polys.
And I have not found ANY papers or articles on how to do it.
Some help please. :)

That article is a few years old now though, and there might be other methods out there that I'm not aware of, but the clipping approach is (relatively) straightforward to implement and works fine.

I appreciate your help, but this didnt help me.
It must be a good article, but I dont have game proramming gems, and i cant afford it. And I dont really know how to get it in Hungary (for a reasonable price)
And googling it only brings up a forum conversation at gdnet in 2003, where you mentioned the same article.

I just said this in another thread, but at the risk of repeating, CS has a system that seems ok to me, and the source code can be browsed at SourceForge:

I'm still using the exact same method in the C4 Engine. You can download the code associated with the GPG2 article here:

Really thank you guys.
It is such a nice thing to simply give a away such a useful source code. I wish everyone was so helpful.

i've just stumbled over this topic.. i tried eric's code to create a decal mesh, but i can't get it to work.
it creates several vertices at somewhat comprehensible positions, but how am i supposed to draw them? triangles, triangle fans, triangle strips? none of these gives the desired result.

my mistake, i generated my own indices for the decal instead of using the ones generated by your code.
thanks for this contribution :D
