[Unity] Sorting Layers

davidsvson

I thought I have read before that Sorting Layers where implemented in the runtimes? But I can't find where to set the sorting layer for an animation. Do I have to make something special?

I have just been using z-depht before but am trying to switch to sorting layers now.

Sorting Layers is part of all Unity Renderers.

It's just that the convenient dropdown is not in SkeletonRenderer/SkeletonAnimation's inspector.

Technically, you can already set them. Any script can change and set it. There are also a good number of unity packages of custom editors you can download so you can set it on things like MeshRenderers.

Thank you pharan!

So is it a good idea to use sorting layers?

Pharan

Yes, it's a good idea. Use sorting layers. It works fine.

The SortingLayer tools here was pretty good last time I used it:

But it's been a while since they updated.

Thanks, that seemed like a an easy tool but I didn't get it to work ( Maybe because i'm on unity5?).

I'll try set the layer in code for now.

Is there any particular reson not to expose it in Skeleton Animation?

Pharan

I'm not really sure why it's not there. I think it might have been because some people hadn't moved to the new Unity versions yet, and then months went by and we just kinda forgot about it.

It could be added, I guess.

The sorting layer info is also serialized into the Renderer component too, so I guess if the SkeletonRenderer's inspector code just kinda picked up data and changed data from the renderer instead of having its own, it would work fine.

[EDIT]
Should be available in a day or two. Watch this topic.
You can see the code here if you're curious: https://github.com/pharan/spine-runtime ... c29bf03a1c

Fantastic 🙂

I saw this PR and wanted to say thanks for putting that together! I had completely forgotten that sorting layers were built in to renderers. Should make my workflow much easier, so thanks @Pharan
