In a recent tutorial (youtu.be/IuO5Zr6HsfA) I demonstrated two methods to place decals on any 3d model in Blender. In this tutorial I want to share one more method that is slightly more advanced but gives you much more intuitive control by utilizing an empty object as a controller. The same technique also works with graffitis, stickers and any other decals you might think of.
