X-ray silhouette where an object is hidden
In your harnessGodot shaderMIT
Keep a character or item visible through walls: the visible part renders as a lit surface, the part hidden behind other geometry renders as a coloured see-through silhouette with a rim, decided per pixel against the depth buffer.
What it takes and gives
- Shader type
- spatial
- Render modes
- depth_test_disabled, depth_draw_never, cull_back
- Parameters
- depth_texture (sampler2D), albedo (vec4 = 0.8, 0.45, 0.2, 1), roughness (float = 0.6), xray_color (vec4 = 0.25, 0.75, 1, 1), xray_fill (float = 0.35), xray_rim_power (float = 2), depth_bias (float = 0.02), pattern_density (float = 120)
- Result
- A character whose exposed part is shaded normally and whose part behind the wall shows as a glowing blue outline with a striped fill.
- Renderers
- compatibility: compiled and rendered, forward plus: not verified, mobile: not verified
- Placement
- res://baltor/godot_shaders/occlusion_silhouette_xray/
Limits. Without a depth test the object does not sort against itself: concave meshes can show far parts over near ones, so it suits convex characters and props best. The object is drawn in the transparent pass, so it casts no shadow from this material and does not occlude other transparent objects.
