Trying to stop this overlap

[Petey]

Hi there,

I know transparency is a bit of a tricky area to manage sometimes but I was wondering if anyone knows a way to stop these transparent objects from overlapping? I have a few simple items like this in a UI and I'd love to be able to jut fade them on and off without that. I'm sure I've managed it before but I cant figure it out now



Thanks,
Pete

Hello Pete, dealing with transparency is a bit tricky indeed! According to the way you've set up your meshes, setting different Render Queues per material might help mitigate the situation, although it might not work for all cases.

In this case you'd set a higher Render Queue value on what you would want to be rendered later, so that it will stay on top of materials with lower values.

Please let me know if this helps, thanks!

Hey thanks for that, adjusting the render order isn't working for me in this case sadly as they are all the one object.
I did find a shader code solution that I feel could work but it requires multi passes. Do you think something like this might work (and be possible in Amplify Shader)?

It's definitely possible to make multi-pass shaders in ASE through our Shader Template system, which allows the creation of custom shaders that accommodate for situations where the Standard Surface shader might limit you.

These require some shader knowledge in order to set up, I'd advise you to read the shared wiki page thoroughly as it explains the specificities of this system, together with a few samples that explain its specific tags and behaviors.

I'm also sharing a shader sample, for your convenience, that will soon be available in the main ASE package:
