Feel free evaluate it; plug-ins available for Maya 7.0 and 2008. Decal Creator lets you make geometric decals on complex geometry with the click of a button. It's perfect for video game artists who need to make dirty or bloody messes on an environment, or a quick and easy way to create a tattoo on an arm, or model a faction emblem onto a mech/tank. You can even project polygon shadows onto complex environments with ease. It's probably more useful of a tool for real-time environment modelers but you'd be surprised at how often you might want a tool like this; so I figured I'd drop a link here in case anyone was interested.
I would love to see some comments on this tool. I know it has saved me hours of modeling, texturing, and tweaking already.
