So we went for a bike ride that took us all over the East coast of Florida. One direction for the beach and the total opposite direction to watch the shuttle launch and not a scrub this time. Why do they call it a scrub? Makes it sound like it was covered in filth or something.

Here’s a Tutorial on Highend3d which I find a bit confusing.

This is my hypershade shot on what has to be done.

middle mouse dragging in the hypershade and using the connection editor

1.  Your decal image outColor -> projection1.image

2. Then Projection1.image -> layeredTexture1.inputs[x].color.

3. Then duplicate your projection node and remap the place3dTexture node to it like the other one was.  worldInverseMatrix -> placementMatrix

4.Your Decal file outAlpha -> projection2.imageR

5. Then finaly take it from the projection2.outColorR -> layeredTexture1.inputs[x].alpha
