Question by Johannski · Oct 21, 2016 at 07:02 PM · shaderrenderingtransparencycolormask

Depth texture override leaves black skybox

I want to ensure that behind a semitransparent object no other transparent object is rendered. Therefore I'm doing one pass in the opaque pass with culling the front and setting the colormask to 0. In the Scene view my idea works, in the game view and in builds im Getting a black background where the skybox should be.

The shader code is really simple:

 Shader "Custom/FillDepthBackFaces"
     {
         SubShader
         {
             Tags { "RenderType"="Opaque" "Queue"="AlphaTest" }
             ColorMask 0
                     
             Pass
             {
                 ZWrite On
                 Cull Front
                 ZTest Less
             
                 CGPROGRAM
                 #pragma vertex vert
                 #pragma fragment frag
                 
                 struct appdata
                 {
                     float4 vertex : POSITION;
                 };
                 struct v2f
                 {
                     float4 pos : SV_POSITION;
                 };
                 v2f vert(appdata v)
                 {
                     v2f o;
                     o.pos = mul(UNITY_MATRIX_MVP, v.vertex);
                     return o;
                 }
                 half4 frag(v2f i) : COLOR
                 {
                     return fixed4(1,0,0,1);
                 }
                 
                 ENDCG
             }
         } 
     }

I'm getting this result: alt text

The black box should be the skybox with the transparent layer on top. I guess the black area is kind of an optimization because in theory there would be no need to render a skybox behind opaque objects?!

Any ideas how to solve this?

This indeed happens, because the skybox won't render at areas that already have depth. You can easily fix this, by using another render queue value. The Depth buffer relevant for the skybox is renderqueue 1-2500. So when z-writing at 2501, you won't have the problem.
