Wanted to share my Outline Post Process Material

I’ve spend a couple of hours watching tutorials and combined a few of them to get this simple outline material. I did my best to add comments so it’s easy to understand.

It has basic functionality and shoul be helpful if you want to start with something already working!

Here are the features:

  • Stencil based (many colors possible)
  • Can change line width
  • Can change color, opacity/intensity
  • Added a small example for a blinking outline using the material function from UILab (from Epic)

The material isn’t perfect, and I’d be happy to update / improve it based on your comments and expertise!

Use it at your will, for any project! A small mention would be greatly appreciated :smile:

Looks pretty simple. Will try it out when I get a chance. Always looking to simplify our outline mat.

Hey looks great!
How would you add distance to camera adjustment? (like lerp between two thickness values based on distance) Since the material breaks when applying to a far away box
