About Linework: Outlines and Edge Detection
- Theme > Stylized
- Art & Visuals > VFX
5+ years in the making, Linework is the culmination of years of experimentation that I have done with outline rendering in Unity.
- Multiple techniques.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution for outlines. Linework includes multiple techniques, balancing visual fidelity and performance.
- Performant.
Leveraging the power of the SRP batcher and the Unity 6 Render Graph, Linework is able to render multiple outlines within a single batch.
- Easy to use.
A considerable amount of development time has gone into finetuning the user experience for Linework so that it is as user-friendly as possible while still being flexible.
