My scene has a ton of objects so I couldn’t take the approach of multiple HighlightLayers. I’m also interested in other possible approaches. I tried using the SSAO post process to some success making outlines, but it didn’t quite capture the style I’m going for. Playground link - I don’t want the…

I got some results I’m pretty happy with from modifying the sharpen post process. :smiley: [Screenshot from 2022-07-24 09-39-13] Here’s the glsl code: #ifdef GL_ES precision highp float; #endif // Samplers varying vec2 vUV; uniform sampler2D textureSampler; uniform sampler2D depthSampler; unifo…

I believe your approach of choosing an alternative is good (although I do not know what result you wanted to achieve). Sadly, the highlight layer has multiple issues with the rendering order and is also heavily impacting performance. I hope some day we will be able to improve it but it doesn’t look …

I haven’t looked into exactly how the HighlightLayer is working, however I recall seeing one method where each object is rendered with a different color before processing that achieved individually outlined objects.

Indeed, there are other methods such as i.e. the edge rendering [image] Rendering Edges | Babylon.js Documentation Learn all about the edge renderer in Babylon.js. You can also achieve outline based on vertices, using shaders (such as the toons shader) and/or…

Hi all sorry for necrobumping this thread! I’ve been trying to create a post process with the NME using this shader. This is as far as I am right now, but I think I’m not understanding some aspects of it, or how to translate the raw shader code into the NME. Can you guys help a bit or can you see w…

Sorry for late response. I don’t think normal buffer is straight forwardly available in NME. here’s my take on color edge detection Babylon.js Node Material Editor Babylon.js Node material editor - shader-based materials editor for Babylon.js Ba…
