Hi,
I'm using the toon shader from the GS wiki but when the camera moves away from the models the outline scales smaller (as is to be expected) and as a result looks very ugly and pixelated. Is there a way to adapt the shader to keep the outline thickness a constant size on screen (based on camera distance perhaps)?

By the way, I'm using A6.

Thanks!

yes, you could use this shader, but instead of using material skilly you could use entity skills and create a function to pass a outline scale value based onto the distance

should be easy to do

Hi, thanks for the speedy reply^^.

Sounds like it could work - problem is, I've really got no experience with c-script. Don't suppose I could impose a little more and ask how one would have to adjust the code to get that working?

Thanks

do you know at least *some* c-script?

Hi, well I have some experience with c-script and a few years ago I gave it a little try but never got very far - I also know a little of a few other languages but nothing that would let me sort this out^^.

Here's the part that lets you adjust the thickness of the outlines

function dunkelblauedickereLinie()
{
mtl.skill1 = float(0.0);
mtl.skill2 = float(0.0);
mtl.skill3 = float(0.1);
mtl.skill4 = float(1.0);
}


The formula to calculate the scale of something as it gets further away is scale=focallength/(focallength+depth). Once you know how much a model is scaled you just have to multiply the line thickness by (1/scale). But how do I do this in c-script? And what would also be required is to limit the scaling - else when the model get's very far away it'll turn into a weird blob as the lines will start obscuring the model.

Hope someone can help me with this?
