# Outlines

A custom renderer feature for screen space outlines based on [Erik Roystan Ross Outline Shader](https://roystan.net/articles/outline-shader.html).

for more specific implementation details see [YouTube video](https://youtu.be/LMqio9NsqmM). Apart from minor adjustments no further improvements has been added.

## Usage

- Add files to your project

- Enable depth texture in the Universal Render Pipeline Asset

- Add the 'Screen Space Outlines' renderer feature to the Universal Renderer Data

- Adjust 'Screen Space Outlines' settings

- Go to Project Settings > Graphics and add the 2 new ones (Outlines and ViewSpaceNormals) to the list of Always Included Shaders. This is needed to make sure the shaders are included when building the project for a real device.

## Known Issues

- Does not work with objects that utilizes displacement shaders, the normal texture generation does not take the displacement into account

- Does not work with MSAA, the current work around is to use FXAA or SMAA on the camera instead.

## Future Plans

I'm continuously expanding on this implementation, below are some things planned for future releases:

- Outline generation anti aliasing

- Varying thickness of outlines based on distance from camera

- Fog affected outlines

- and much more
