Is there a way to render meshes into customRenderTargets against the existing depth buffer?

[BlackMojito]

I need to render several meshes into a custom render target (for later compositing in the post process pipeline). But I need them to use the same depth buffer as the normal meshes too.

Is there a way that they share the same depth buffer? 

 

For now, what in the custom render target is always on the top because they will not be discarded by the depth test...

Unfortunately we cannot share the same depth buffer

Yeah...that what I had noticed. In my opinion, if we could manage to support that feature, babylonjs would become much more powerful...

So the idea would be to attach the main depth buffer to a render target right?

Yeah although I have written any GL low level code for a very long time...

The great thing is that we can avoid re-render the "main scene". We can just re-render some overlay layers and compose them easily in the post pipeline.

Please add an issue on the repo to track this good idea (And check feasibility)
