UUM-37541

Regression

No

Artifacts are visible when using the depth buffer projection with MSAA and Depth Priming

--

-

Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached “ASDQWE” project
2. Open the “Assets/Scenes/SampeScene.unity” Scene
3. Enter the Play Mode
4. Observe the Game View

Expected result: The red square looks constantly the same
Actual result: The red square contains artifacts when the camera moves closer to it and when it moves away - the square becomes semi-transparent

Reproducible with: 2021.3.26f1, 2022.2.21f1, 2022.3.0f1, 2023.1.0b19, 2023.2.0a17
Could not test with: 2020.3.48f1 (Assets could not migrate correctly)

Reproducible on: Intel MacOS 13.3.1

Note: For the reproduction to occur these settings need to be enabled:

* In the “Assets/Settings/URP-Balanced.asset” asset, Quality > Anti Aliasing (MSAA) > 2x (or greater)
* In the “Assets/Settings/URP-Balanced-Renderer.asset” asset, Rendering > Depth Priming Mode > Forced (or auto)

  1. Resolution Note:

    Enabling depth priming, causes the opaque pass to reuse the depth from the depth prepass and override all the opaque objects depth states to Equal (from LessEqual) in order to be able to reuse the existing depth texture as depth buffer. So your decal depth "always" op is overridden by "equal" which causes z-fighting.

    If you need to use depth priming, you should move your material to the transparent queue, that will make sure that depth priming opaque pass depthOp override doesn't affect your material.

    If you enabled depth priming just as a way to force a depth prepass, there is a better and cheaper (perf wise) way of doing that: in URP asset enable "Depth Texture", in the URP Renderer Data set "Depth Texture Mode" to "Force Prepass", this will still run a depth prepass but the depth state of your custom material will be preserved
