how did you leave a meterial around the texture?

[vernal garden]

This might be done by glowing texture and backface/frontface culling materials on seperate bones. If not, I'm very interested of an alternative method too.

[sleek zealot]

You got an example of this working?

[vernal garden]

You mean the method I described? It can look like the picture above.

[sleek zealot]

I meant can you show me how you would write that as a material.

Also are there any official docs for materials?

[vernal garden]

In my case there was no need for a custom material. Entity_emissive_alpha_one_sided is doing the job for me.
But for a model with > 1 cube I'd probably try to use a (custom) material with frontface_culling.

[vernal garden]

Not that I know.

[sleek zealot]

alr thanks

[sleek zealot]

How would I add front face culling?

[sleek zealot]

All good, I got it

I made the outline bone always render behind and scaled it up to get a thickish line

[frosty surge]

does it need an animation controller?

[sleek zealot]

not really, just use scripts>animate

And make sure the bones align with ur model

[wise dove]

I'm trying to achieve the same thing for quite some time now. Would you please tell me how you did it?
My outlines render infront of the model. Just like in the first picture of this thread the head outline renders infront of the body cube (chin area)

[delicate snow]

Sorry for necroing this one year old post, but how did you make it always render behind?

[sleek zealot]

stencil

[delicate snow]

Ah great, thx 👍

[cosmic moat]

anyway how do I apply an material outline to an specific mob and is stencil good?

[sleek zealot]

The explanations may be pretty bad, I'm in the middle of rewriting my documentation and haven't gotten to this page yet

It should still be able to guide you through creating an outline that's visible through walls

[cosmic moat]

ohh sounds good I think this was a good idea for my vehicle addon test or something. the explanation was okay then
