What a amazing video. I’m trying to follow, but you jump straight to the first effect, without actually explaining how to “overlay a material” (not the blue print construction of the material) but actually: How to layer a material? (in 46:59) you create an instance, and apply it to the mannequin’s material (thus making a material over another mesh material). Could you please elaborate in that part? is it a secondary (transparent mesh)? or is it the same mesh that receives the outline? -if so, why do we still see the mannequin’s PBR texture?
