Decal Creation Tool for Maya

Hey guys. I wrote this trialware software for Maya users a while back ago, but it hasn't really taken off like I had hoped. Do you have any suggestions or questions about it? I definitely wouldn't mind going back into the plugin and making it better, though it pretty much does what it says, really fast and easy decals. Not sure what else I could do.

Decal Creator
Ofcourse you could turn around and say, "I'd rather do it the hard way" and I'd be okay with that too .

If you are asking yourself "why the heck would I want this?" I've copy-pasted an explanation from the site.

"Decal" is a term often used in the video game industry to describe a texture that is projected onto a small part of an environment. This texture is typically a blood splatter, bullet hole, sparse litter, patches of vines and weeds, graffiti, or even scratches and scuffs to add more detail to the environment. In modeling packages like Maya, an artist at a film studio might use addition uv sets with a layered shader. For video games those CG approaches are a run-time nightmare; even for modern rendering engines. The steps required to make these decals run-time efficient and aesthetically accurate is a mundane and arduous task to say the least. Enter Decal Creator!"
