Don’t you want the axis viewer to also be occluded by the geometry of the scene? That’s the problem, if you want that it is not affected by the post-process at the same time.

You would have to use a solution similar to [Sharing depth buffer between two cameras - #8 by Evgeni\_Popov](https://forum.babylonjs.com/t/sharing-depth-buffer-between-two-cameras/34971/8) (you need to reuse the depth buffer generated by the default rendering pipeline), which is indeed a bit complicated…
