Hello Roshondas,

What you are looking for is the Translucent Sort Priority which is a per mesh/object setting. What this setting does is it allows translucent materials to be sorted front to back or near to far from the camera. This allows for objects to be rendered on top or behind one another based on its priority.

By default, all of your objects will have a 0 priority, which means objects closer to the camera with a translucent material will render in front of objects behind or further away. Below is an example of how you can modify this setting to get an object to render in front of another object by using a higher sort priority.

Translucent Sort Priority - 0

Translucent Sort Priority - 1

Let me know if you have further questions or need additional assistance.

Cheers,

Hi Andrew,

This is not about Translucent Sort Priority. I know about sorting.
My bug is not so important but I thought I would write about it.

1.Create parent material with translucent blending.

2.Create material inst form this parent with opaque blending overwrite.

3.UE will treats your opaque as a translucent.

Cheers,
Dominik

I ran the test in a new blank project using with the updated information you provided, but still did not get the results you are reporting.

Translucent Parent - Opaque Mat Override

Thanks for taking the time to write up this report and let me know if I am overlooking something. It looks like the issue might pertain to mutli-material mesh, but I also tested this on my end and did not get the repro.

Thank you,
