Hey. Can anyone please advise me good Outline effect? I tried free assets and basically all that are based on shaders showed me this:
I use Spine for 2D animations, and the problem is that it does not create Sprite but Mesh, which is assembled from a texture atlas. On the screen this is clearly seen in the example of the head: the Outline line goes over the area that the Spine API cuts out of the texture atlas, rather than in the picture itself.
There is also a solution in the asset store that partially solves my problem:
Here is this asset:Outline Effect | Fullscreen & Camera Effects | Unity Asset Store
But it is no longer supported, and also does not work on some devices. But the main problem with this asset is performance. On my LG G2, it drop FPS from 60 to 25 (and it doesn’t matter if there are objects in the scene that need to be outlined)
I’m afraid to buy something from paid assets because I can pay money for what you can see on the first screen, but I’m ready to pay for a working (for my Spine objects) asset.
P.S. I also noticed that in Unity 2018 (maybe earlier) Outline Effect was added in the editor. It is clearly visible on the second screen on the right side. Perhaps Unity laid out this effect somewhere or maybe it is in the Unity sources?
