Epi posted this on discord, but I thought it would be better to have it here for easier reference:

This actually was extremely relevant for my current project where I need a lot of destroyed structural details. Glad you thought it was as valuable a find as I did. My personal recommendation (for the easier modeling technique behind this) would be to duplicate and expand from the same mesh and reuse the UV projection to position with the decal. My only worry is how well that will hold up at longer distance rendering. So far our efforts to mitigate decals overlapping (and creating z-fighting results) seems to have really payed off. Considering how far some of these structures will be viewed in my current project I suppose it'll be a good test to say the least.

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
