Allows to render UI icons with quality, crisp outlines and shadows, as opposite to Unity built-in really bad looking outline.
Render pipeline compatibility
The Built-in Render Pipeline is Unity’s default render pipeline. It is a general-purpose render pipeline that has limited options for customization. The Universal Render Pipeline (URP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that is quick and easy to customize, and lets you create optimized graphics across a wide range of platforms. The High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) is a Scriptable Render Pipeline that lets you create cutting-edge, high-fidelity graphics on high-end platforms.

If you updating to version 1.1.10 or higher from older one you should make clear installation, guide how to do clear install is here



🟩Features🟩

  • Perfomant - all data to generate outline is cached and sotred as nested texture in original texture asset, avoiding runtime calculation.
  • Crisp - due to SDF rendering nature no matter how zoomed otuline, it will always remain crips, not pixelated.
  • All image modes supported - Simple, Sliced, Tiled, Filled, all modes are supported.
  • Multiple sprites support - sprites with 'Multiple' mode is fully supported.
  • Seamless integration - its just a few clicks to setup your initial Outline/Shadow. User experience integrates nativly to unity.
  • Mask support - can be both masked and act as mask.
  • Pixel art support - pixel art is fully supported, it requires some preparations
  • Atlas support - for most part is supported, tho require some additional setup

🛣️Roadmap🛣️

  • Improving image modes support (Tiled, Sliced, Filled), right now there are certain nuances
  • Possibly adding Sprite Renderer support
  • Advanced materials, textures, animations, virtual materials, etc
Technical details

⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

  • Uses AssetImporter.userData to store SDF import settings, so if you using any plugins that also writes to userData of textures it will not be compatible.
  • Sprite Atlases is now supported but with some limitations. Know more about atlases support here
  • Sprite Renderer is not supported right now, possibilities for implementation will be explored but this is a tricky topic.
  • Versions before 1.1.x is not directly compatible with 1.1.x, know more about it here
  • If you updating to version 1.1.10 or higher from older one you should make clear installation, guide how to do clear install is here
  • When working with SDFImage in prefabs with context crash might happen with multiple logs like: d3d11: EndWrite on null buffer. Upgrading Unity version to latest LTS of your choice should help, if not message me.
