Hi!

so basically ive got this Arrow wich consists of a panel and a material for the texture and now i want it to be renderd on top of specific objects. i know its possible through either a stencil but i couldnt find any good tutorials or disable depth-testing wich i cant use because im using a masked to cut out the arrow. so how do games do these things?
