</div>

so Is there a way to get a depth pass from a specific rtt?

```auto
var depthGrab = new BABYLON.RenderTargetTexture("depthGrab", 1024, scene, false);
depthGrab.activeCamera = camera
scene.customRenderTargets.push(depthGrab)
depthGrab.renderList.push(planet)

```

I need a way to grab the depth texture of only specific meshes.

Hey @Pryme8,

Any possible way to get a playground to look at, to get a better idea of what you’re after?

Thanks!
