LOCAL SPACE TEXTURE MAPPING BASED ON REVERSE PROJECTION

Implementations described herein relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media to render an object with a decal texture applied thereon. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a polygon mesh of an object. The method further includes determining a positional map and a normal map by applying a rasterization function to the polygon mesh. The method further includes receiving a target texture map associated with the object and a decal texture to be placed on the target texture map. The method further includes determining a position, an orientation, and a scale of the decal texture with respect to a local space of the polygon mesh. The method further includes determining placement of the decal texture onto the target texture map by performing a per-pixel projection operation. The method further include rendering the object with the decal texture applied thereon.
