Version 1.4 brings hull outlines and texel-aligned shading!
Retro Shaders Pro for Unity URP » Devlog

In Version 1.4, I've added a new hull outline shader that mimics the kind of outline effect you'd see in late PS1 and early PS2 games. Plus, with the Retro Lit shader, you can snap shadow data to each texel on the surface of the object, which will make shadows appear pixelated along the same pixel grid as the texture on the object.
The code for the texelated lighting is adapted from this thread on the Unity forums. I want to credit user GreatestBear especially - they outlined their approach in great detail in this post, and I'm not sure I would have figured out how to do texel lighting without this help!
Here's the full changelist:
- Added Retro Outlines, which uses the inverted hull effect to render outlines.
- Added texel-based lighting/shadows to the Retro Lit and Retro Terrain Lit shaders.
- Added toggle for vertex colors in most Retro shaders (which is set to off by default to avoid weird coloring when you import a mesh).
- Added tint color to CRT effect (both the post process and the mesh-based version).
- Fixed bug causing shadows to flicker on some objects.
- Fixed problem preventing the CRT effect working with the 2D Renderer.
Thanks so much for using this asset pack!
