Sprite Renderer and Mesh Renderer layer problems

Hello everyone.

Context: Making a lock on system for a 3D action adventure game.

How do I display a sprite in the world that is displayed on top of everything? My current problem seems to be that no matter what layer I set things on. Mesh Renderer objects will always display over Sprite Renderer objects. Uploaded a picture of what is happening with my tracking sprite.


So any ideas guys?

 

You can use a different drawing layer, or a screen space UI canvas.

 

I used layers and cameras to achieve what I wanted... Sort of. I have a new problem now tho. The render order is now DefaultLayer -> Lock On Circle -> Character. The only problem, the character is now rendered on top of everything in the game because she is on her own layer. Before when my character was on the default layer she could clip through the cubes in the level which is desired in this case.

So basically I'd like to keep the character on the default layer with the world. Then have the cross hair above the world but below the character somehow.
