Edge Detect Effect Normals
This version of the Edge Detect image effect creates outlines around edges by taking the scene geometry into account. Edges are not determined by colour differences but by the surface normals and distance from camera of neighbouring pixels (the surface normal is an “arrow” that indicates the direction the surface is facing at a given pixel position). Generally, where two adjacent pixels have significantly different normals and/or distances from the camera, there is an edge in the scene.
Al igual que los otros efectos de imagen, este efecto solo está disponible en Unity Pro y usted debe tener Pro Standard Assets instalado antes de que se vuelva disponible.
This effect uses the ImageEffectOpaque attribute which enables image effects to be executed before the transparent render passes. By default, image effects are executed after both opaque and transparent passes have been fully rendered.
Propiedades
| Propiedad: | Función: |
|---|---|
| Mode | Chose the filter type (see below). |
| Depth Sensitivity | The minimum difference between the distances of adjacent pixels that will indicate an edge. |
| Normals Sensitivity | The minimum difference between the normals of adjacent pixels that will indicate an edge. |
| Sampling Distance | Bigger sampling distances (default is 1.0) create thicker edges but also introduce haloing artifacts. |
| Edges exponent | Exponent used for Sobel filter. Smaller values detect smaller depth differences as edges. |
| Background options | |
| Edges only | Blend the background with a fixed color. |
| Background | The color used when Edges only is > 0. |
Filter Types
The new SobelDepthThin filter offers a way to make edge detection work with other depth based image effects such as Depth of Field, Fog or Motion Blur as edges don’t cross an object’s silhouette:
Note that as only depth is used for edge detection, this filter discards edges inside silhouettes.
SobelDepth works similarly but doesn’t discard edges outside the silhouette of an object. Hence, the ede detection is more precise but doesn’t work well with other depth-based effects.
TriangleDepthNormals is likely the cheapest available filter even though it examines both depth and normals to decide if a pixel resides on an edge, i.e. it detects more than just object silhouettes. A high amount of normal map details however might break this filter.
RobertsCrossDepthNormals shares its properties with the Triangle filter but looks at slightly more samples to determine edges. As a natural byproduct, the resulting edges tend to be thicker.
Soporte hardware
This effect requires a graphics card that supports Depth Textures. Vea la página Capacidades Gráficas de Hardware y Emulación para más detalles y una lista de hardware complementario.
