FREE OUTLINE SHADER in Unity

hey guys so welcome to another free asset feature for the unity asset store and this is one of the most popular free assets that you'll find and it's something called quick outline now the last showcase video i did it reached about 170 likes i'm curious if we can work together and break 200 likes on this video because this is a really really awesome asset and i think everybody deserves to see it if you haven't seen it before so you can look on the unity asset store and you can just type in quick outline as so and all you need to do from this is you need unity 5.6 and above and i have seen people in the reviews say it does work with urp so i guessing that works in htrp and so on so in all versions of unity from 5.6 and above you'll just click download and import it's a tiny tiny package you can then bring it into your scene it comes with a few resources which is for the actual materials that it uses but it requires you to add one script to an object that you might have in your scene so i've got this cube and you can see that when i move this cube i've just got it under the floor because the outline does various versions of outline as in on the edge does a silhouette and other things from there if you select any object it can be a skinned mesh which should have animations and it's got support for that you can just drag that script straight there there is a little readme to tell you details about how to use it and how to program the specific features on it but i was just going to show you that it's a specific system that works at runtime and then when we press play you can see that when outline all is selected and it's the actual outline mode we can set a color so to make this obvious we'll just set this to red and you can see in the preview down here and we can increase the line width so you see when we're through an actual flaw it outlines the entire outside even if it's clipping through the actual floor itself you have an optional dialogue to pre-compute outlining as if you've got a very big or a large set of models because it does a lot of calculations in the awake functions of this script so if you've got a lot of different objects which have this going on you might want to tick that and it'll just take a workload off so it'll do the calculations before you do it at runtime then we have a different option which is actually outlined visible so it will only show the outline based on if it's above any particular other 3d object so if it's clipping through you won't see it because it will be masked by the other object and outline hidden is the exact opposite so you can see that any objects that's hidden so if you need to find like i have a special secret mode which you have like a a radar and you fire it out and pop a lot of popular aaa games would have like a little cheat mod to reveal secrets you might be able to see this through walls and things then we've got another one which is the outline and silhouette and this is as it suggests it's the outline and a solid silhouette of something through the floor and just by itself is the silhouette as if you would see it through the floor so there's a lot of variability there and it has two instances of materials one for a mask and one for the actual outline fill itself so it's pretty much just drag and drop that script in if you need a quick outline for all your objects that you've got all you need to do is reference the actual component which is the outline component which is the script and you can reference reference the outline dot mode and define which one that is set the color and the width all in script so it's so so easy and simple to use so be sure to check out the asset on the unity store for free and it's called quick outline i'll leave a link in the description be sure to check this out be sure to check out any of my great assets on the unity store take a look at the community discord take a look at the patreon if you want to support the channel so thanks very much for watching don't forget to like comment subscribe cheers you
