  Hands down, this is the most amazing addon I've used in a while. Let me tell you why:

  At first, I thought it was great because I couldn't add new faces to the scene, making it easier on my GPU. But then, I tried two things that absolutely blew my mind, and I think they're worth promoting:

  Firstly, when you have an object stamped, and you duplicate it as an instance, the decal will expand correctly to the duplication because of the coordinate system of the empty object the app uses. So technically, you could grab a single stone, duplicate it as an instance 100 times to make a wall, for example, and then you could put a few damage decals onto it, and voilà: you have a wall with full variety, using only as many vertices as the original stone.

  And the second amazing feature: If you have different objects next to each other and you want to put decals on them, you just put a stamp onto one, and then in the shader editor, you copy-paste the node group into the second object's material and BOOOM. The same empty directs the decals through different materials.

  It's like magic.

  I may end up changing this but tbh despite everyones comments that its so easy and intuitive, the lack of documentation has me puzzled... i cant even find but one tutorial on youtube on how to use it and following that hasnt really worked in a way that I thought...maybe im just stupid... I can get the placeholder onto the object but im puzzled by why it wont actually stick to the object it seems to be stuck to the 3d cursor, and im not getting a bounding box the way the tutorial shows, im just getting a line that goes from the 3d cursor to the object, which makes it weird to actually move the object around on the surface of the mesh. Your documentation is very poor. And the lack of tutorials is astounding for such a useful tool that people have rated highly. I searched stamp it add on blender and got one tutorial that wasnt informative.

  Hey Jackie, please reach out to me via the message the creator button and I can help you a bit more. (I can only reply once here)
  I’m making a tutorial myself this week and I’ll notify all customers who have emails enabled - and I can DM you to the chat aswell once the tutorial is out.

  I wrote down and understand the issues some users are having so I’ll try to cover all approaches to using the addon in the tutorial.

  My apologies for lacking documentation & hope the upcoming video will help.

  Very nice plugin! Definitely worth the purchase! For environment work it's absolutely fantastic. I'm trying to use it in the context of prop work and I am wondering if there is a reliable way to duplicate my object and have all the stamps be duplicated as well? Right now if I duplicate the object the actual container comes with, but the texture is lost.

  Absolutley amazing, saved so much time and it's so intuitive to use. Can't wait to see updates or other add ons from this developer!

  This is absolutely brilliant in terms of workflow!

  I work doing production design for corporate events and exhibitions so am constantly having to place logos on all sorts of surfaces which in the past I had to create an separate unwrapped photoshop file for the surface decals. Now I can easily do it all inside Blender!

  Great add-on but we definitely need a detailed video tutorial.

  Hey Jevpro, I'm actually trying to record a video in the upcoming week. I'll send out an email to customers and post it on the product page for the newcommers. Thank you for the rating and hope you will find it useful when it's out :)

  This is the best and revolutionary texture tool I have ever tried. It makes everyone not to use any other software than blender.
  Nevertheless I have a couple of suggestion.
  1) We must have comprehensive tutorial video and documentation. This is the most important. Even if it is a simple addon, it is not self-explanatory and I suppose with improvements it will become complicated. For instance it was very difficult to find out how to use alpha cutouts.
  2) Cubes should get a "hide" option. If we use more decals it is pretty distractive. A line and circle - as it shown - would be perfect. By the way when I delete the cube, I can't modify the stamp anymore.
  3) Layer blending features (multiply, screen, etc.) would be really useful.
  It is obvious that this is the early version of this addon. But once again it can open a brand new way to think about textures.
  Thank you.

  What I like the most about this decal plug-in is that when I tested it with Simple-Bake (a brilliant baking plug-in) and it worked first time. The decal was included on the baked texture without even having to reference it in the baking process. This was a great relief to me as I as struggled with two other decal plug-ins to achieve this.
  Also, Jan, the developer is a nice guy who responds to questions very quickly - this is important to me.

  My constructive criticism is as follows:
  1. It needs documentation and a video to help people like me who don't use Blender too much.
  2. In my opinion, the interface is a little clunky and needs refining.
  3. It would be nice to have a slider for scratches and damage
  4. It should come with a few free decals for dirt, moss, mould etc

  I am happy to give this plug-in 5 stars as I believe the developer will continue to develop it. Just looking at the sales figures in such as short time would suggest he is on to a winner !

  Well done.

  Nice Addon! Easy to use, and the New Update really improves performance! Customer support is also very good!

  Can I 'apply' the stamps? otherwise when I create an instance or link to the object the stamps dont translate very well. Thanks in advance!

  Hey Scott,
  Yes you can of course bake the stamps into image textures to export to different engines.
  If you just need them "applied" ie. to stick to a model and stay there - thats already done in the addon itself ;)

  Hope this helps - also make sure to reach out via "Ask a Question" section if you've got further questions as I can only reply to ratings once.
