Outline Post Process Effect in Unreal Engine

[@96ubme]

Awesome tutorial. Thanks so much for showing this. If my outlines are too bright how would I control that, seems like they are brighter the further away from the camera?

This is pretty mind blowing 🤯

Hi, I follow step by step with this tutorial, but when I on the step 8:25, my material show whole black without depth, is it some setting I missing?

[@Chaolice]

You need to change the emissive_color to something else than black

I’m trying to wrap my head over the outline section of the graph. Why do we need the 4 copies of our calculations and adding them together in the end? We multiple SceneTexelSize with 0,1 1,0 0,-1 and -1,0 and I don’t exactly know why that is or what it’s trying to achieve. I assume it’s to cancel something out in the end to create the outline, but I’m not sure how that is.

I might be wrong, but based on another outline tutorial, you can pull a similar effect (just the outline aspect) by only doing the opposite diagonals. So 2 instead of 4. Problem is the two missing diagonals, while the item still looks outlined, it is a bit 'off' or thin. By doing all four sides you completely 'wrap' the edges with an outline effect.

On UE5, if you want to just add outlines to your scene and keep the original color, you can: - Clamp the final value between 0 and 1. This will avoid glow effects and give you a mask where white values are the outlines and black values everything else. - Use the clamp value to drive the alpha of a lerp. - You can put the Scene Color node in A to get the original color of the scene. - In B, you can add a constant 4 parameter for your edge color. - Plug the lerp to your emissive color and you'll have the desired effect.

Awesome tutorial! Tell me, is it possible to somehow make the back faces visible as well (as if the meshes themselves are invisible and only their frame is visible)?

[@ozcanozteke284]

Hey! I tried this out as a material to outline items that can be picked up, it looks great thanks! I'm having a problem tho: when a light source is behind this material and bloom is enabled, it is extremely bright! Would you know how to fix that? Thanks!

[@杨子凡-y3g]

I also encountered the same problem.😮‍💨

[@ozcanozteke284]

@@杨子凡-y3g Didn't find a solution for that problem unfortunately, I worked around it a bit, the problem is still there but players won't notice in my case

[@srknAyn]

thanks , this tutorial gave me an idea,separating two overlapping maps with a post process like a portal

[@Pikameleon]

Hello! how would this node graph look if i wanted to mask out certain actors? The mask would just be the characters original color before post-processing

[@SinaAfshariJewellsMuseum]

I need just round all hard edges this metode works for it?

[@AYSMOKASHI]

how can i apply this to my camera and thankyou very much for this

[@timelord8049]

is it possible to make different buildings different colors or will it all be the same?

[@G3N0FX]

Hey, i had the same idea, did it work?

[@txetxu65]

[@danieltzriker]

Just put the mesh in front of the player's camera

[@RokPat]

This is an awesome effect! Thank You very much for this! Exactly what I needed for a project I'm working on. I just wanted to ask, is there any way to be able to put the camera within the spehere and the effect works? As not if You go inside, the effect disables?

[@guilhermenaco]

Thank you!

[@ventaidepc]

[@imaiven]

Amazing, this is so useful! But I have a problem, the skybox shows its geo when its seen through the PP, do you know how can i solve that?

[@UpsideDownTutorials]

Thank you, regarding the issue I tough about it and one solution will be to put a distance limit using distance field parameter.

[@vrai_]

@@UpsideDownTutorials I got it working but not a consistent result, can someone show the way?
