(Or any other Simple tier Composite shader)

The Basic Renderer Feature supports composite shaders that require one or more of the texture masks from the Simple renderer feature and adds support for the Basic mask textures listed below:

⬛Texture2D_OutlineDepthTextureMask
A depth texture mask storing the depth information of the Outline3D objects
🟦Texture2D_OutlineNormalsTextureMask
A normals texture mask storing the view space normals of the Outline3D objects
🟩Texture2D_OutlineUVTextureMask
A color texture mask storing the objects UV coordinates for cross-hatching effects etcetera

The default Render Pass execution order of the 🧑‍🎨🧑‍🎨Outline3DRenderFeatureBasic is shown in the diagram below. After the mask Render Passes are done, the Outline3DRenderFeature executes the final full-screen composite pass, which renders the final outlines to the scene cameras:
