If you want to outline a thing in #UE4, you can do it in the object's own material (i.e. no post process or extra mesh overlaid), using custom depth, with some limitations. This isn't a huge win, but it's useful to simplify some things like editor tool visualisation materials. 1/

@MilkyEngineer Just posting here on the off-chance that one of you tried/managed to get one of these dropdowns working with this stuff? I feel like I'm so close and yet so far @jkelly206 @HighlySpammable

[Cory Spooner @TheRealSpoonDog]

@MilkyEngineer I’d like to see a cage match between you and whoever did the “named reroutes” in materials, for the top honours.

@IamDeanTate @UppercutAJ Hey Dean, never did Inf or SF, a lot of Jailbreak - we never worked together but lurked in the same circles :)

@keinzantezuken @t_looman @JKashaar @UnrealEngine Never fear, it is a standard function with UE4, check it out!

Soft, variable-color outlines for pickups, using "mini-post-process" sprites for easy per-object coloring & fading (& avoid full-screen post instructions). WIP. Thanks to @t_looman for his soft outline experiment & @JKashaar for HLSL stencil sampling help! @UnrealEngine #gamedev

@keinzantezuken @t_looman @JKashaar @UnrealEngine I’m far away from a computer but you can double click on it and take a look! I think in a nutshell, it computes camera vector per vertex instead of per pixel. So it’s required if you want to use it in the vertex shader (or via vertex interpolator / custom UVs)

@direGoldfish @glassbottommeg @PartlyAtomic I remember even chumps being pretty perf-hungry. I'm sorry we had to gut some of your chumps.

@mozidesigner I’ve always thought 1 too.. that’s funny I was watching “The River Wild” yesterday and thinking it had some tame Cliffhanger vibes, and thinking I needed to watch that again

@NewZulund Should be able to get around it by wrapping with scale box or some such I think

[Cory Spooner @TheRealSpoonDog]

@johnkearns_ First shot looks a bit like a Graboid (from Tremors)

[Cory Spooner @TheRealSpoonDog]

@NewZulund The text box doesn’t happen to have both “auto-wrap” and “wrap at” set does it? (that got me today)

[Cory Spooner @TheRealSpoonDog]

@ChrisZukoArt It does make it easier to exit bad dream situations if you’re semi-conscious.. but I find they just keep on repeating anyway and ya wake up real stressed. Then you have a choice of taking ages to get back to sleep, or continuing the dream where it left off..

Also one of the hardest things to make look good as a game asset

[jacob 🧦 @cloutsocks]

thinking about how hedges aren't green and soft and fluffy all throughout the inside but instead look like this

it's fucked up !

@JKashaar Get out of a creative hole = just dig another hole within the hole
