Hi,
Is it possible to draw objects to the screen in a custom order?
For example, in this test, I have 4 planes spread out in Z-Space, each with a material with a color and alpha applied. I would like the plane with the Circle to be drawn on top of the others - even though the Z-Depth would otherwise dictate it should be at the back?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Donovan
What system are you using?
Have you downloaded the latest version of Lens Studio?
Is this issue causing Lens Studio to crash?

Please enter a brief description of your issue:
Unfortunately, it's likely due to the operating system or hardware you're using – since they don't meet the system requirements for Lens Studio.
Still, we hear you loud and clear, and are logging the issue in case there's ever a workaround we can provide!
Minimum Requirements
Operating System: Windows 10 (64 bit); MacOS 10.11+
Hardware: Minimum of Intel Core i3 2.5Ghz or AMD Phenom II 2.6Ghz with 4 GB RAM; Intel HD Graphics 4000 / Nvidia GeForce 710 / AMD Radeon HD 6450 or better; screen resolution of 1280x768 or higher
Keep an eye out for a followup email from us. We may have a couple more questions for you, or we might already have a solution to offer.
Happy creating!
Hey Donovan,
Objects by default are set to
Autoenabled. If you'd like to define the render order, simply disableAutoand manually configure the object's render order as described in this guide.Cheers,
Kaitlyn
Thanks @Kaitlyn!
For those trying to figure it out:
1. Select your mesh (in this case "Circle")
2. Turn off Auto and set Order to 1.
> The circle will stop drawing to the screen.
I believe this is because it fails the depth test because the front place drawn in Pass/Order 0 is actually in front of it.
3. Select the Circle's material
4. In the Inspector, turn off Depth Test
> The circle will overwrite everything before it with no concern for Depth.
