About:
A material shader that highlights your game objects with a virtual scanline and rim highlight.

Inspired by the loading screens props and object highlighting from your favorite post-apocalyptic and radiation filled RPG.

The line texture can be replaced to make horizontal or diagonal lines. It can also be changed to a completely different texture, whatever strikes your fancy!
The shader only uses the red (R) channel of the line mask.

This shader is neatly placed under the 'Scanline Highlight' shader category containing the 'Diffuse' and 'Bump Diffuse' shaders.

A detailed documentation (.pdf format) about the shader is included in this package.
