We are happy to announce outline rendering support for all shaders in our spine-unity runtime! This makes it easy to show colored selection outlines around characters, animated Spine UI elements, and much more.

Great work Spine Team. :-) THANK YOU :-)

[derek99]

Great work!!
This new function is pretty COOL! THANK YOU!!!
But the thickness of outline is varied in Unity.
Already leave space to not cut off the outline.

Thanks for your kind words, glad you like it!

But the thickness of outline is varied in Unity.

The outline width is constant in texel size (in texture space), so if you the wing and hat parts are scaled twice as large (half the texel-density on screen), then the ouline will show the same "twice as large" scaling effect.

I have created an issue ticket here to support constant outline width in screen-space:

Thanks for reply! Great help!

Is this URP compatible?

Is there or will there be a packer for Spine projects?
Where Spine collects all source folders and save them to a master folder for when a project has been completed.
Similar to the 'Collect dependencies' in After effects.

*Im not sure where suggestions should go *

I also have the same question!

Damn I love the Spine team !!!
Thanks a lot !

The New Function is Damn Good like it

it has issue with URP look like this

Hello, also hoping that this feature can get released on the URP shaders?

Please check out the latest blog post about it: Blog: Unity Universal Render Pipeline support

@Erika

I don't see anything mentioned in the post about the URP shaders supporting or not supporting outlines. Is there anything I'm missing?

I found this post in case it helps others. tldr: outlines are not supported in URP.

Issue with urp

I don't understand why the outlines have different widths when I exported 2 characters with the same settings from Spine, and I have identical shaders settings in unity - but the characters have a drastic difference on their outlines. Would be nice if I didn't have to manually work on the outline width for each character.

We have an issue ticket on our roadmap that deals with implementing screen-space constant ouline width:
https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/spine-runtimes/issues/1615

In the current implementation it it is constant in texel space, so the material property will set it to e.g. 3 texels width. So it depends on the resolution of your input attachment images, if e.g. a head.png attachment has twice the resolution at the same display size, the outline will be half as thick using the same 3 texel width.
