[SOLVED] Selective rendering for entities inside opaque entities?

Help & Support
1

Hello, all.
I am trying to make an ice dude with someone trapped inside, I realized that first in block bench and then in playcanvas that the entity inside the opaque entity didn’t render.

Is there a way to render the entity that is inside the opaque one, with it still looking like it is inside?

I tried render layers but that didn’t work, maybe I implemented it wrong.

Here is my test project: PlayCanvas 3D HTML5 Game Engine

I forgot to put that the selective part is that it shouldn’t render through walls and other stuff.

This is how I would do it: https://playcanvas.com/project/1286645/overview/f-rendertest

Edited to remove the second camera. Only one camera is needed here

Can you please give steps on how to do that?

You can achieve this by using render layers correctly. Check out yaustar’s project link for a working example: Render Test. If you need more help, try searching for ‘Render layers @yaustar’ in the forum for detailed steps.

I figured it out and haven’t gotten to change the name yet. Thanks for the advice though!
