FMP: Week 18 Tuesday

On Tuesday, I started working on a rimlight shader or the characters using material functions following this tutorial:

I wanted a fine rimlight on the edge of my character models, similar to that seen in Breath of the Wild here:

So I started with the material functions as so:

Getting the offset pixels

Getting the neighbouring UVs

Extracting the custom depth and setting max line width

Function that combines inputs into one map

Final MF that uses all previous MFs to create a rim light mask

Final post processing material section multiplying directional light intensity with the rim light mask
(bottom node is the alpha lerping the top node and the rest of the scene colours together).

Custom depth mask

The rest of the shader

Resulting rimlight! :D
