Hello, I’m currently using the MSDF renderer and am experiencing an issue where text fails the depth test. Here’s my situation. I’m using the DefaultRenderingPipeline and SSAO2RenderingPipeline. These render using the full-screen quad method(?), and it appears the depth buffer is not updated duri…

This is because, by default, MSDF Text is always processed last making it render before the postprocessing happens seems to help [image] Babylon.js Playground Babylon.js playground is a live editor for Babylon.js WebGL and WebGPU 3D scenes

Thank you!. There are so many observables in the scene that I didn’t realize there was an appropriate one there!
