Weird sorting issues

I created a bunch of quads on a sphere with the same material but the ones in the back sometimes get drawn on top.
[Edit] I'm dawing the quads using DrawMeshInstanced and I guess that treats the quads as one mesh so maybe that's why? How can I fix sorting of polygons on the same object?



Here's the shader nodes.



And the code.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. Shader "Custom/Unlit/TextureInstanced"
3. {
4.     Properties
5.     {
6.         [HideInInspector] __dirty( "", Int ) = 1
7.         _Texture("Texture", 2D) = "white" {}
8.         _Tint("Tint", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
9.         [HideInInspector] _texcoord( "", 2D ) = "white" {}
10.     }
11.  
12.     SubShader
13.     {
14.         Tags{ "RenderType" = "Transparent"  "Queue" = "Transparent+0" "IgnoreProjector" = "True" "IsEmissive" = "true"  }
15.         Cull Off
16.         CGPROGRAM
17.         #include "UnityPBSLighting.cginc"
18.         #pragma target 3.0
19.         #pragma surface surf StandardCustomLighting alpha:fade keepalpha noshadow
20.         struct Input
21.         {
22.             float2 uv_texcoord;
23.         };
24.  
25.         struct SurfaceOutputCustomLightingCustom
26.         {
27.             fixed3 Albedo;
28.             fixed3 Normal;
29.             half3 Emission;
30.             half Metallic;
31.             half Smoothness;
32.             half Occlusion;
33.             fixed Alpha;
34.             Input SurfInput;
35.             UnityGIInput GIData;
36.         };
37.  
38.         uniform float4 _Tint;
39.         uniform sampler2D _Texture;
40.         uniform float4 _Texture_ST;
41.  
42.         inline half4 LightingStandardCustomLighting( inout SurfaceOutputCustomLightingCustom s, half3 viewDir, UnityGI gi )
43.         {
44.             UnityGIInput data = s.GIData;
45.             Input i = s.SurfInput;
46.             half4 c = 0;
47.             float2 uv_Texture = i.uv_texcoord * _Texture_ST.xy + _Texture_ST.zw;
48.             float4 temp_output_5_0 = ( _Tint * tex2D( _Texture, uv_Texture ) );
49.             c.rgb = temp_output_5_0.rgb;
50.             c.a = temp_output_5_0.a;
51.             return c;
52.         }
53.  
54.         inline void LightingStandardCustomLighting_GI( inout SurfaceOutputCustomLightingCustom s, UnityGIInput data, inout UnityGI gi )
55.         {
56.             s.GIData = data;
57.         }
58.  
59.         void surf( Input i , inout SurfaceOutputCustomLightingCustom o )
60.         {
61.             o.SurfInput = i;
62.         }
63.  
64.         ENDCG
65.     }
66.     CustomEditor "ASEMaterialInspector"
67. }
68.

Thanks, I didn't fully understand the jargon, but it seems like I've hit the limit of Amplify Shader Editor?

 

You've hit the limit of realtime transparency rendering to a degree. But also yes, the work arounds are mostly outside the realm of ASE's current functionality. FYI, this is also outside the realm of pretty much any node based shader editor.

 

Gotcha, thanks
