Hints:

To switch on the expected effect, the custom stencil need to be set to the sum of the necessary mask values for each object.

In V2, the default stencil masks are

Cel shading = 1

Outline = 2

Hatching = 4

Silhouette (suggestive contours) = 8

Commonly, setting custom stencil = 7 for each object is OK. For a character, 15 is recommended to enable the suggestive contour for better details conveying.

The stencil masks can also be customized, if the default values are used for other things and the rules are commanded.

For using mobile, please first drag BP_MainLightInfo into the scene.

Limitations:

1. Only support 1 main directional light

2. Outlines may not always work as same good quality as the PC version for arbitrary geometries.
