How to sort 3D meshes and sprites in Unity?
The other answer to sorting 3D meshes and sprites is to treat sprites like 3D objects and move both in Z so they actually are in front or behind each other in 3D space rather than rely on sorting layers and order. theANMATOR2b and creepi like this. Thats what i mean with the y -1, i must use y and not z but in the end its the same what you say too.
Is the mesh in the front of a sprite?
With the other all time the mesh is in the front of the sprite :/ Thanks. Sorting Layer does work exactly the same way as it does on sprites, but how meshes and sprites are rendered is very different thus the results look completely different or like the sorting layer isn’t working.
How are meshes and sprites related to rendering order?
They also have something called Sorting Layers, which seems to relate to that as well. However, when the scene combines both Sprites and Meshes, meshes do not have anything relating to rendering order, at least nothing I can find. So, the question is, how can I place a mesh in rendering order relative to a sprite and vice versa?
Do you have to use sprite shaders with meshes?
If you want to integrate 3D objects in the scene, they don’t have to use the sprite shaders, but they also should set “ZWrite Off” so they also don’t write to the depth buffer. This can have some interesting consequences with 3D meshes (particularly if a single mesh goes behind itself, like with a 3D character).
Is there a way to sort 3D meshes?
The last method I know of is to artifically “squish” 3d meshes so they’re nearly flat when rendering to the zbuffer, not too much that they don’t properly sort with themselves, but flat enough you have some room to manipulate multiple objects by adjusting the distance they flatten to.
How does sorting layer and order work in Unity?
Sorting Layer and Order in Layer The Sorting Layer and Order in Layer (in the Renderer’s Property settings) are available to all 2D Renderers through the Inspector A Unity window that displays information about the currently selected GameObject, asset or project settings, allowing you to inspect and edit the values.
Where do I find Order of meshes in Unity 5?
In Unity 5, sorting layer and order are exposed in the inspector for both the mesh renderer component and the particle system renderer. But the renderer still draws 3d meshes based on their z-position, maybe this will be fixed by the final release but I’m so thankful for this anyways. rakkarage likes this.

How to render an object as a sprite?
Another method is to render each object into an off screen texture each frame and then actually render it into the scene as a sprite.
