Setup in three steps

  1. Import the package from the Package Manager.
  2. On your URP Renderer asset, click Add Renderer Feature and pick Glow Outline Renderer Feature. The defaults work well for most projects.
  3. Add a Glow Outline Target component to any object you want to glow, and set its color and intensity.

Good to know: occlusion is calculated with depth dilation, so very tall or large objects may not occlude perfectly. The renderer feature's settings can tune this.
