Chapter 498: ToonOutlinePassNode

Core Idea

Represents a render pass for producing a toon outline effect on compatible objects. Only 3D objects with materials of type MeshToonMaterial and MeshToonNodeMaterial will receive the outline.

Key Concepts

• alphaNode : Node: Defines the outline's alpha.
• colorNode : Node: Defines the outline's color.
• name : string: The name of this pass.
• thicknessNode : Node: Defines the outline's thickness.

Code Examples

const postProcessing = new RenderPipeline( renderer );
const scenePass = toonOutlinePass( scene, camera );
postProcessing.outputNode = scenePass;

• What it demonstrates: Typical usage of ToonOutlinePassNode.
