Hello everyone, I’m having a problem with highlighting object through other objects. An example here : https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#2338DN Basically I hoped to get an outline of the plane with the highlight and not half of the sphere red. Any idea or advice to get that ? Thanks,

Thank you for your quick answer. It is exactly the result I want. Quick questions then, any idea how to sort meshes’ Z. The meshes are loaded dynamically in my example so loading then in order is not an option for me :confused: I know it’s done automatically for transparency alpha blended materia…

You could use 2 rendering groups and then use setRenderingAutoClearDepthStencil to prevent any changes between groups: https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#2338DN#3

Would it work for 50+ objects ?

This can be pretty expensive but will depend on the objects complexity

You should draw last (create last) the element to exclude to ensure that the stencil buffer is not erased by them: https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#2338DN#2
