Mini Tutorial on rendering occluded actors using Post-Process
This is a mini screenshot tutorial based on a project i did a few days ago.
First of all create a new material in Content Browser and set the material domain to Post-Process. Then follow below steps:
Line Render. (Re created from Google)
Scanlines (Ignore this if you dont want scanlines
And finally connect the last node to Emissive Color
To make it work, set “Render Custom Depth” flag to enabled and set the Bounds scale to higher (10) otherwise mesh sometimes will not render properly when behind.
Set Custom Depth and increase Bounds Scale
And here is a screenshot of my Material Parameter Collection.
