Neon Skylines Shader

Neon Skylines 2.2

This shader is inspired by the night vision effects from the game HALO ODST, using edge detection to outline the terrain and entities. Now you too can feel like you’ve just dropped from orbit into a blocky, unfamiliar world. The sensitivity of the edge detector and the outline colors are fully customizable. Try it with low brightness settings!

TODO

• depth fall off setting so edges fade out the further they are
• seperate per detection type (color, depth, norm)?
• reverse fall off toggle
• Better weather edge handling
• Entity and DH sensitivity multipliers for light and normals
