Abstract
This disclosure describes one or more implementations of systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods that apply a resolution independent, vector-based decal on a 3D object. In one or more implementations, the disclosed systems apply piecewise non-linear transformation on an input decal vector geometry to align the decal with a surface of an underlying 3D object. To apply a vector-based decal on a 3D object, in certain embodiments, the disclosed systems parameterize a 3D mesh of the 3D object to create a mesh map. Moreover, in some instances, the disclosed systems determine intersections between edges of a decal geometry and edges of the mesh map to add vertices to the decal geometry at the intersections. Additionally, in some implementations, the disclosed systems lift and project vertices of the decal geometry into three dimensions to align the vertices with faces of the 3D mesh of the 3D object.
