# StrideOutlineRenderer

Stride Outline Renderer - Renderer for Rendering 3D Object (Model Component) Outlines

 

## Features:

- Halo/Bloom/Blend outline effect for model components (this is not a shader)

- Enable/Disable outline on model components by changing render group at runtime

- Permanently enable outline on model components by assigning render group on Outline Component and enable "AlwaysOutlined"

- Performance should scale (horizontally) directly with PostFX Bloom process

## How it works:

- Uses physics ray casting in camera controller to activate outline on objects, requires colliders

- Model components are set to RenderGroup9, when they are highlighted they are changed to RenderGroup10 (arbitrary assignments)

- Model components have an OutlineComponent attached to them, assigning a highlight color and outline RenderGroup (RenderGroup10)

- RenderTextureSceneRenderer in Compositor writes only RenderGroup10 to a render texture (InputRenderTexture)

- OutlineRenderer uses SpriteBatch to write a new RenderTexture (OutputRenderTexture) by saturating color

- OutlineUiOutput Entity/UiComponent in Scene renders the OutputRenderTexture to the camera as RenderGroup30

- RenderGroup30 has PostFX applied through SharedRenderer (This is how the bloom occurs)

- InputRenderTexture is excluded from PostFX, but added as a SingleStageRenderer for Transparent pass "on top of" bloom effect

## Potential Improvements

- You could combine the RenderTextureSceneRenderer functionality into the OutlineRenderer

## Other Implementations

- Check my GitHub profile, I will also release the non-bloom version with a combined Renderer (RenderTexture and SpriteBatcher), should be titled something like "RenderGroupOutlineRenderer"
