I’d be on board with adding this type of outline filter to jme-effects, assuming the rest of the community are on board with the idea.
My project is using a local (and slightly modified) version of an outline filter that another jme dev shared a long time ago (the author just says @xxx in the code files, so I’m unsure who made it since its been so long).
But I’d say that having a standardized engine implementation that is optimized and scalable would be much better than all of us having our own slightly different versions of basically the same thing. Ideally, an engine implementation could remain basic with just a simple outline but could also have some togglable params to enable/disable the extra features like the ones that are showcased in @capdevon ‘s implementation.
By having a standard and scalable engine implementation, the filter would get much more thorough testing, and it would also open the door for more togglable features to be added onto it by other contributors in the future (which is exactly the type of collaboration that open source projects benefit from). So (in my opinion) it would be great to see an official and extensible implementation of an outline filter added to jme-effects.
