Handy Surface Detail for Blender

Please Note That, it ONLY works with Blender 3.1 or above.

What is it?

It is asset pack of over 100 meshes as surface details. it utilizes blender internal addon tissue to populate target mesh surface. it also comes with a helper script to simplify the process. 

while I am making a character, after the block out phase, adding and refining surface details sometime can be time consuming. so I made this to help me speed up the process. especially applying standard hard surface boolean object onto a curved surface is quite beneficial to me.

in action:

how to add details:

1. in Object mode, select a source detail object, shift select a target object and press add element.

2. in edit mode, select some face and choose a detail from the preview and press add element.

3. this only apply to adding details for scifi category: select a source detail object, single mesh or boolean mesh, shift select a target surface mesh, go to Edit mode, select a rectangle shape and press add element.
