V1.3.0 (Full version history)
Traditional two-pass outliner (Blueprint + Line materials)
Why this traditional outliner?
Post-process outliners are heavy, not anti-aliased, and generate dirty small lines. But using them is still a good choice when you have too many polygons because polygon count doesn't matter.
Two-pass outlining technique is a traditional solid technique used in so many games but not basically supported in UE4 (with this pack, you can do it!). It draws slightly adjusted black mesh to draw lines and do not use post-process at all. Since the cost of black mesh drawing is almost nothing for most meshes, this pack actually can be a much better choice in most scenarios unless you are to draw lines of AAA high-polygon meshes.
Key features:
• Traditional two-pass outline drawing (no post-process)
• Easy application
• Thin sub-pixel line support
• Antialiased lines
• Line width control in world/screen-space
• Different colors in a scene
• All platform support
