Combining two Outline Shaders
I already asked in the forums, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask here, too...
I have found two shaders, both of which have one of two properties I want...
The first one shows outlines inside the model, the second one shows outlines only as sillhouette, but it also shows the outline color behind objects...
Is it somehow possible to combine the two, making a shader that shows all outlines, but also shows behind objects?

Just for the record, I managed to cobble something together that works...more by accident than by knowing what I do...nevertheless, if someone is interested, here is the CG code:
Shader "Outlined/Silhouetted Diffuse" {
Properties {
_Color ("Main Color", Color) = (.5,.5,.5,1)
_OutlineColor ("Outline Color", Color) = (0,0,0,1)
_Outline ("Outline width", Range (0.0, 0.03)) = .005
_MainTex ("Base (RGB)", 2D) = "white" { }
}
CGINCLUDE
#include "UnityCG.cginc"
struct appdata {
float4 vertex : POSITION;
float3 normal : NORMAL;
};
struct v2f {
float4 pos : POSITION;
float4 color : COLOR;
};
uniform float _Outline;
uniform float4 _OutlineColor;
v2f vert(appdata v) {
// just make a copy of incoming vertex data but scaled according to normal direction
v2f o;
o.pos = mul(UNITY_MATRIX_MVP, v.vertex);
float3 norm = mul ((float3x3)UNITY_MATRIX_IT_MV, v.normal);
float2 offset = TransformViewToProjection(norm.xy);
o.pos.xy += offset * o.pos.z * _Outline;
o.color = _OutlineColor;
return o;
}
