    Hi,

    I'm currently stuck with an optics problem. I have a character consisting of several quads, these rotate depending on the direction of movement, now a specific mesh should always be displayed over another specific mesh, how can this be adjusted? Layer masks would also show this mesh over other objects, I don't want that.

    Like a mesh order only inside the childs of a parent.
    Or like the Sprite render-layers + ordernumber system.

    I would be happy if someone had a good tip.

    You can arrange order according to render/camera, I'm installing a new version of Unity so can't check now, but I think it is layer based.

    Check out the stencil buffer.

    Have the first object draw a value to the stencil buffer. Have the second object in a later render queue, and only draw where that value is set in the stencil buffer.
