Hull Outline Shader in Unity URP Using Renderer Features and Culling! ✔️ 2020.3 | Game Dev Tutorial
✔️ Works in 2020.1 ➕ 2020.2 ➕ 2020.3 🩹 Fixes:
► If importing a model, be sure to enable read/write access in the asset inspector, so the normal calculator script can read it's data correctly.
Outlines are a fun technique to add style to your game and pair perfectly with toon shaders. There are a variety of ways to implement them, and in this video, I look at one of them. I use a renderer feature to render a mesh twice, extruding the "hull" to create an outline. In the process, I write a script to handle sharp corners.
