I love unity in many areas, but not when we talk shaders , rendering and post process. I've learned to do this and cell shading on unreal wich I feel its way more intuitive and easier to do than it is on unity but I'm really glad it getting easier to do and understand on unity that is my favored engine. Just by staying on shader graph only is a big plus. I may try diving on those waters again . Thanks for sharing!
Thickness likely can be achieved by sampling larger distance of pixels (multiply +/-1 by thickness). As far as per-layer effect, you cannot do that with this setup. You would have to use the older way of doing outlines to select layers (until Unity adds the option to filter by layers with this configuration)
You could add an Emission node to make the outline more noticable. Plug in the Overlay? into the color of the emission node and turn up the intensity of the node to your liking. Do not forget to enable bloom in your settings.
I had gone with a different method in the past, writing my own renderer feature and rigging up a shader graph material that utilized the depth buffer instead. This graph you have now though looks quite a bit nicer than mine, and the fact you don't need to invent a new renderer feature is a big plus. Might just have to do a bit of refactoring ;)
Yeah, there are a lot of ways you could have done an effect like this. I'm glad that this approach means you don't need to actually write a renderer feature, because I feel that's a big obstacle to a lot of people.
I wonder if they could give us the option to choose a Sampler with the URP Sample Buffer. It seems like it would allow for a much more feathered/anti-aliased result, smoothing the Outlines more during the process. That said, I suppose you could simply try resizing the Render Texture scale to be a bit higher and/or use x8 AA settings to counteract some of the aliasing of the Outlines... or use a Sobel algorithm as opposed to the Robert's Cross approach to get a more refined result, at the cost of performance.
finally was researching this for the last 3-4 days and they brought up the exact thing which I wanted. a bit creepy :D is it possible to get the same effect on urp 2021 lts? would be awesome to see a tutorial for that
Hey nice video man! Just only one thing. Is there a way to add depth to this shader? I tried replacing nodes with the scene depth one (which barely works, in many spots the shader just does not work), but i cannot get a fully working result
I guess it depends on whether you mean high-end or low-end mobile but it's probably decently efficient. You end up doing 9 samples per pixel, but other edge detection techniques sometimes do more than that. You could remove either the color-based or normal-based nodes to bring it down to 5 samples if you want to improve performance at the expense of the effect looking a bit worse. Shader Graph sometimes has a bit of overhead compared to hand-writing an HLSL shader but it's probably not that much.
Having a problem where everything is black in scene, I looked at some other comments and changed blend modes, and all leave the scene black except additive, which just shows me the scene as normal without outline, anyone got a fix?
This is not working for me. I am only getting this effect on the top left of the viewport. Along a diagonal marks the delineation between the shader working and not working. What should I check which might be causing this problem? I’ve also gone through the same tutorial on your website and the same effect resulted. (EDIT) the instruction to use Blit (1) under the full screen pass renderer feature Pass was incorrect in my case. The “only works above the diagonal” goes away if I switch the pass to DrawProcedural (0). I do not yet know why this is.
Great Video, thanks for this. One issue I've found with trying this is that the outlines seem to ignore the z order. So for example if I have a UI health bar (in world space etc) say above a characters head then the outline from another character in the background can be seen through the green line, making it almost unreadable. Do you know if there is a way to resolve that? Thanks again for a really informative video.
got a problem where the outline only applies on half the screen in blit mode (also the outline won't appear in the game view), any idea as to why it happens? pls I am desperate
Hey I've just started unity so mind my possibly silly question. After the screen node you have the divide node followed by a split node. Given that the output of the divide is a vector2, can't you simply take the 2 outputs from that same divide node and plug them into their corresponding vector2 node? This was a super neat video and made me understand everything quite well. Thanks a ton.
You would have to render outlined objects on a different camera. You can have per-camera renderer assets, so if you have two cameras, one would have the renderer feature enabled, the other one wouldn't. Though make sure they are renderered in the correct order.
It's decently performant, in the ballpark of most edge detection and outline techniques. I don't have a VR headset so unfortunately I can't test that, but I have heard that Unity is trying to improve VR support with code-based Renderer Feature effects. Basically they're deprecating some Blit methods in favour of the new Core Blitter API which is more VR-friendly (forum.unity.com/threads/how-to-blit-in-urp-documentation-and-or-a-unity-blog-post-on-what-every-blit-function-does.1211508/#post-7735527). I assume Fullscreen Shader Graph uses the same underlying API so maybe VR support for effects is a given.
@@Reikanable I have applied and it was working perfectly in Scene and Game mode. However, when I get the build, the outlines for some reason shifts around and misplaces as well as turning off the passthrough. I have been trying to debug it but could not find the issue. I am basically using Meta's All-in-One SDK and everything that comes with it.
Hi! I was hoping to eliminate the jagged edges by using TAA, but instead TAA makes it even worse! To be precise, it makes all the edges jitter - a lot. Probably as a result of how TAA is created. I tried to use SmoothStep instead of Step, but didn't change much. Any suggestion on how to make this (and I suppose other shaders you may have created) TAA friendly?
Not to certain layers, but certain Gameobjects. Set Material in Graph Settings to StackLit. Plug the "Overlay?" into an Add node. Add a SampleTexture 2D plug it into the add node. Assign your texture in the Texture input of the sample texture node. Works in HDRP 2022.2.20
I am COMPLETELY NEW to shaders and post processing. But I was wondering if there's a way to get this effect different per character. Like some characters having different outline colors and thickness.
My entire scene goes black and white when I put the material into the High Fidelity Renderer. None of the object textures appear, it's all white with black outlines
I exactly followed your tutorial to the end and it didn't work, was so frustrated and went to a other tutorial, the same results, the URP Sample Buffer for some reason gives me black backgrounds, but then I found your project files on your description, loaded it out from the latest unity version and seems to work just fine ^_^, so that means I kinda messed up right?, I feel dumb, and yea I'm dumb xD
I've got the impression you only get difference of up, down, right and left pixels, but not the left up, right up, right down and left down. Am I right or do I get it wrong ?
Great tutorial, Bro! Thanx a lot, but I have one issue with this graph - when "Overlay ?" is off there is black screen under the outline (and when "Overlay ?" is on you can actually see 3D with ouulines on it).
thats because everything that is not outline is equal to 0 in the shader, and outline is white (1) multiplied by color. Thats how this shader is intended - you either see your scene with outlines, or black screen with outlines, controlled by the keyword.
Hey, you've probably fixed it by now, but I was having the same issue and I found the solution, so I'll leave it just in case. You go to Graph Settings and change blend mode to multiply
The most subtle comment implying that something is wrong! I had the same problem as you, and I fixed it by changing the pass index for the renderer feature to DrawProcedural (0) instead of Blit (1)
Hey, I've got an issue where only the colour edge detection seems to be working but it's not detecting the normal edges at all. Any pointer on why this might be happening? I did exactly as you did in the shadergraph. I set up the edge detection correctly as the colour outlines work great. It's just the normals outlines that won't show at all edit: I just loaded up the sample project from the github in the description and it does work even in the newer version of unity I'm using. (2022.3.9). Which means I must have missed something, whether in the shader or the urp settings. edit2: So I've downloaded the example project linked in the description and been working in that instead since it has the correct settings. However I've been writing custom hlsl urp shaders and now those don't seem to have outlines even though the default materials now do. They're unlit urp shaders so I assume that is part of the issue?
@@AdrianDLGA its because I was doing custom lighting in an unlit cgprogram shader. It wasn't providing the normal information to the camers. You need to add a "depth normal pass" to the shader yourself for it to pass that information to the camera
Not easily. Or at least, I'm not sure how you would with this method, or if it's even possible. That's something I definitely want to look into though, because it would be very useful to apply this to specific objects.
@@danielilett I wanted to separate it for separate characthers. One of the things I found was by making renderer features via C# code an set it up there, But I still need to study the renderer feature documentation though
Hi Daniel, Do you know if we can somehow add a threshold so that if the object is far outlines are not drawn, as right now far away objects turns all back because of it
The shader is missing the depth buffer. Meaning you would also not have outlines, when another object is behind an object, and the normals + colors are matching. So first you would need to copy paste the setup again for depth buffer. Then, to get rid of the outlines far from the camera, add a smoothstep on the depth value, use a new threshold for that too, and multiply the output with the overlay alpha. Done.
i'm a bit late to this, but the pass index is still there... click the 3 dots on the full screen pass renderer feature in the inspector in the top right corner and activate "show additional properties". then a "pass" option will appear, which essentially is the pass index
Yeah, this is a post process effect which doesn't attempt to filter out specific objects in the scene. It just gets applied to the whole thing. It'll work great for scenes with distinct-looking objects, but maybe not quite as well for very busy scenes with similar coloured objects overlapping.
Ey, maybe I am absolutely fucking dumb; but for some reason I did all the steps and is only... applying to half of the screen? Like a diagonal slice of it, the upper part to be precise. Any idea why this may happen? I am pretty sure I did all the steps right, but this just seem like I am only taking a sample of half the screen to apply the shader to and I don't know why. I have tried conecting the vector2 node that is conected to the screen node directly to the final output of the shaderGraph (to see if I somehow failed at applying the math nodes) and still only works for half the screen; it shows a yellow triangle blocking the top and left part of the screen in both the game and scene views. Could it be the renderer? Or it is for sure something wrong with the shaderGraph?

Hey, according to the documentation: "This error can happen when you use a full-screen shader with a custom pass C# script that uses the Blit() function, and you haven’t selected the Blit shader pass in the Inspector window or in a script. To fix this error: In a full-screen custom pass, set the Pass Name property to Blit. In a post processing script, set the Blit pass to 0. For instructions, see Set the Blit pass in a C# script." I hope it helps.
Can’t believe post processing can be managed by shader graphic, actually just modify the last frame of the game, shader node post processing did make scenes
I think you can still use the Scene Depth node in Fullscreen graphs to get depth information, then you do the same process of calculating the difference in depth between adjacent pixels. Just note that there's a "Depth Texture" option on the URP Asset (in the Assets/Settings folder) that needs to be ticked to generate the depth texture.
@@danielilett Thank you very much for this info! I actually managed to get it working haha. I'm now wondering if it's possible to get a normal based outline shader that is material/object specific, as opposed to a post processing image effect. I don't want everything in the scene to have normals, so I've realized either the render feature needs to work with only certain layers, or the effect needs to be object specific. Unfortunately the URP sample buffer doesn't seem to do much unless it is on a fullscreen material, so I'll have to find a way to use the world normals instead. If you have any tips that would be much appreciated. Thanks again for your videos!
@@atanki5682 yeah kinda, I used the overlay camera method. You have to make a new layer, that’s going to be the layer which the lines are not rendered and this layer should be ticked in the culling mask of the overlay camera.
I tried applying it form HDRP but I failed :( Would be great if you could translate it into HDRP. There are missing things in HDRP like the blit, and other odd things.

you can change the thickness if you make an add node after the first split node. Its important you use very small values for it though

Can’t believe post processing can be managed by shader graphic, actually just modify the last frame of the game, shader node post processing did make scenes
How can you accomplish this effect with the depth as opposed to normals and color?
I think you can still use the Scene Depth node in Fullscreen graphs to get depth information, then you do the same process of calculating the difference in depth between adjacent pixels. Just note that there's a "Depth Texture" option on the URP Asset (in the Assets/Settings folder) that needs to be ticked to generate the depth texture.

@@kriztov @erikm.hasenknopf2960 idk if you still need this but go inside the shader graph and set the blend mode to additive
Is there a way to change the outline thickness ?
that's what i've been trying to do, have you found any way?
@@atanki5682 yeah kinda, I used the overlay camera method. You have to make a new layer, that’s going to be the layer which the lines are not rendered and this layer should be ticked in the culling mask of the overlay camera.
@@MaNameOtis I'm not sure I understand.. can you please elaborate further?

i ran into a very funny glitch where the entire editor including ui gets edge detected idk why
I tried applying it form HDRP but I failed :( Would be great if you could translate it into HDRP. There are missing things in HDRP like the blit, and other odd things.
hey man did you figure out how to do it with hdrp?
