Question by Inx51 · Feb 13, 2017 at 08:20 AM · shaderscaleoutlinenormalwidth

Normal length? Outline shader

Hi Im trying to create myself an outline shader based on the one provided in the SteamVR - plugin. (Even if I kind of modified the entire shader by now :)).. Anyhow.. Im having some issue with retaining the "scale"/width of the outline between different meshes/objects.. and I cant really get why this is happening..

alt text

As you can see.. both objects/meshes uses the very same material with the very same shader.. however.. they get different "width" of the outline..

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Oh.. guess I should mention that the shader is currently doing some stencil-magic to be able to use "layered"-materials (multiple materials on one object, and yes.. Im aware of the performance hit this might end up with :)).

Shader:

 // Upgrade NOTE: replaced '_Object2World' with 'unity_ObjectToWorld'
 
 Shader "Unlit/Outline"
 {
     Properties
     {
         _OutlineColor("Color", Color) = (0,0,0,0)
         _OutlineWidth("Width", Range(.0001, 0.1)) = .0005
     }
 
     SubShader

         Tags

             "RenderType" = "Transparent"
