I'm attempting to attach a pointer to my steamvr controller to simplify world interactions. I'm very new to unity, but found a nice volumetric line asset (VolumetricLines) that aesthetically is exactly what I want. However, it seems to be rendering behind my canvas, as you can see here: Rendering Problem

The canvas is set to world space with the event camera set to the VR camera, and renders properly for all world objects except this line. The line also renders properly with all objects except this canvas.

What exactly is the mechanic that causes the line to render behind the canvas, when it renders in front of other game objects, and what could I do to fix the render order?

  • \$\begingroup\$ Perfect! Setting the Sort layer to Default and the "order in layer" to -1 works. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Because you answered exactly the question I asked, I'm setting your answer as the correct one, and will ask a new question if necessary. However, do you know why now, the entire line renders in front of the canvas (even the part that's physically behind it)? \$\endgroup\$
