Spawn and Pool Decals in Unity for Realistic Impacts

Decal systems in Unity’s Universal Render Pipeline are incredibly powerful for adding impact marks, footprints, and environmental details — but without proper management, they can quickly tank performance. In this video, we break down how to use the Decal Projector component effectively and show how to build a clean, reusable object pooling system to handle hundreds of decals at runtime. You’ll learn how to spawn decals dynamically on impact, fade them out smoothly, and keep your scene running fast even under heavy fire. Whether you’re making a shooter, racing game, or anything in between, this workflow will make your visuals sharper and your performance rock-solid.
