2019.2 latest LWRP doens't sort opaque draw calls

For testing purposes I have disabled the SRP batched and the GPU instancing. I tested changing the
Camera.main.opaqueSortMode to OpaqueSortMode.FrontToBack, but whatever value I use, the sorting doesn't change.

I also wonder why I shouldn't use the FrontToBack sorting an any time.

 

Windows standalone. I forgot to mention that I test it using the frame debugger, so I am relying on what I see there.

 

Ok thank you. I am not sure why without any batching enabled it shouldn't work, seems very suspicious, but probably relying on sorting is not a great idea so another question if you don't mind: how can I enable a depth prepass to prime the z buffer using the depth pass before the actual rendering?

 

thank you, it's still not clear how I can enable it explicitly. I will try to figure it out.

 

I am back from holiday and tested this immediately. If I hack the code and force the requiresDepthPrepass to be true it works fine, but I am not sure how to force it otherwise. I wish to not support a custom LWRP just to force this.

edit: setting the requiredDepthPrepass to true alone is not enough as the standard pipeline doesn't use the default render target for it, while instead obviously I need the depth pre pass to work on the default render target.

 

Your suggestion is to have custom LWRP pipeline just to prime the depth buffer then? If it helps my case, I could do it, but how can I do it without modifying your package?

 

which I don't know what it actually means. If you mean that the only way is to modify ForwardRender.cs, then this is what I am doing:

Code (CSharp):

1. if (true /*requiresDepthPrepass*/)
2. {
3.     m_DepthPrepass.Setup(cameraTargetDescriptor, m_ActiveCameraDepthAttachment/*
4. m_DepthTexture*/
5. );
6.     EnqueuePass(m_DepthPrepass);
7. }
8.  

 

yes I ended up doing it, but I still have so many questions, hence I opened a new thread
