Object Outline Materials for Unreal Engine

Post Process Outline Material

The post process material uses Unreal's Custom Depth and Custom Depth Stencil Index to allow multiple colored outlines in a single pass.

Check out the blog post for full details and instructions.

Local Outline Material

The local outline material works similar to the post process material except it draws on a seperate Mesh that encapsulates the mesh to generate the outline for. This can be a cube, sphere, etc. This costs one draw call with the benefit of affecting significantly fewer pixels than a full screen post process effect.

For advanced use you can even apply more effects on the particular outline as demonstrated in the blog post.
