Adding Other Overlays (Cracks, Dirt, Scratches)

While BloodScreens Pro is built for procedural blood effects, you are not limited to blood overlays!

You can easily adapt the system to use any screen overlays, such as:

• Cracks and broken glass

• Dirt, dust, grime buildup

• Water drops, frost, scratches

• Ink spills, oil smears, etc.

The placement, generation, and blending will work the same way, giving your scene extra dynamic damage effects beyond just blood.

How to Add Custom Overlays

You can follow the exact same steps outlined here: 👉 Importing Your Own Images and Media

When adding your own textures:

• Use transparent PNGs for clean blending.

• Aim for mid-to-high resolution (~512×512 or higher) for sharp effects.

• Grayscale or colored overlays both work—the system handles blending automatically.

• Make sure your overlay fits the visual style of your game (dirty overlays for apocalyptic themes, cracked glass for shooter HUDs, etc).

Tip: You can even combine multiple layers (e.g., cracked glass plus blood splatter) for complex results!
