Outlines on Models

[Gireen]

How can i get outlines on Player Models?
Is this with shaders possible?

Now why would you want that?

you won't go far with Q3 shaders.
you can draw, along with the original model, a "slightly thickened" copy of the model in which only the inner faces have coloring/texturing.

I found this small tutorial http://cokane.com/lines_tutorial.html this seems to be the way u describe?
It's similar to the method how the helmet is added on the human head?
If I make it so i dont need to write any shader file?
How will the performance be wenn i do this with every Model?


@hermxiv
I try to create a simple cel Shading mod. I saw the cel shading in Tremfusion and think with special textures and better Outlines this coud looks good.

yes, it is.

wtfbbq? no, the helmetless-head and head-with-helmet models have no such relation to eachother.

If I make it so i dont need to write any shader file?

if you only want to add outlines, then all you need to use is 1 small shader for a monotonic (black) color.

How will the performance be wenn i do this with every Model?

i suspect that there will only be a minor performance degradation.

Actually, the naked and helmeted head are the same model (head.md3), with the naked head mesh named h_head_base and the helmet named h_head_helmet. Attached is a screenshot from Blender showing how I did my 'Lego' helmet:
