Hello Verge3D Community,

I’m currently trying to create an outline effect on diferent objects and each with diferent outlining color. At the moment, I can only select a single outline color through the export settings.
Can we add diferent colors to the outlining effect for specific objects?

Is there a way to achieve this via JavaScript or any other method?

Thank you!

Hi ATGmedialab,

Unfortunately only 1 global color can be used for outlining. A way to overcome this limitation is to highlight the individual object with emission color.

create several outline passes with different colors. but this will probably have a huge impact on the overall performance.

Puzzles and JS coding. Fast and expensive.

If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.

I see, I will try these other methods.
Thank you both for the information and options available.
Regards.

JS can change the outlinning color
```
let vEdgeColor = app.postprocessing.outlinePass.visibleEdgeColor;
let hEdgeColor = app.postprocessing.outlinePass.hiddenEdgeColor;
vEdgeColor.x = 1;
vEdgeColor.y = 0.216;
vEdgeColor.z = 0;
vEdgeColor.w = 1;
hEdgeColor.x = 0;
hEdgeColor.y = 0;
hEdgeColor.z = 0;
hEdgeColor.w = 1;
```

Indeed… It’s possible to change the color depending on what object has been chosen. But it won’t work with two or more different objects outlined simultaneously.
