[SOLVED]Make a Mesh Render in Front of Other Meshes?

[Raggar]

Silly title, I know.

I'm not sure how to achieve this, and I'm sure a PG is not necessary, if this functionality actually exists.

Imagine the simple and common version of a FPS-setup.

You have a camera, and a mesh or more in front of this camera, usually a couple of hands and a gun of some sorts.

Now, when I hit a wall face-first, part of the hands/gun model will clip through the wall, and we sure don't want that to happen.

Is there some way to always render the hands/gun models in front of everything else, igoring depth? I looked at z-index, renderingGroups and masks without luck.

Hi, 

Renderinggroupid is your friend : http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#1N9CSW#0

It's weird, because it works with some of my meshes, but not this particular one:

I tried other meshes, and by assigning the new groupId to those, it works just fine.

It seems to work for me (I can see the hands in front of everything)

Are you sure? Try getting closer to the plane and sphere objects.

This is because your newMeshes[0] is the parent of newMeshes[1]

newMeshes[0] has no geometry and thus is not rendered. The rendered mesh is the #1

here is the fix:

Oh. I've had similar issues when scaling individual meshes. Should have thought of that I guess

Thanks.
