Mesh.isBlocker only works if the mesh has a material

The lens flare is visible behind the box even if isBlocker is set to true. However, it works as expected only when the mesh is assigned a material to it. You can test it out in the playground link I pasted above. The line 37 adds a material to the mesh, which is commented.

Yes, having a material is a requirement as explained in the doc (Lens Flares | Babylon.js Documentation):

Babylon.js can also detect occlusions for you. A mesh can occlude the lens flares if the following conditions are met:

  • has a material
  • isVisible === true
  • isEnabled() === true
  • isBlocker === true
