[Graphics]Particles are occluded behind any gameobject
What happened:
The particles are being rendered behind objects with the mesh renderer components; However, the particles in the scene earlier created scene are rendered infront of the mesh renderer components. Nothing appears to be different in these scenes.
To repro:
1. Create new project.
2. Import both packages.
3. Open "BugReport-ParticleOcclusion.unity" scene file. (This is the broken file).
4. Press play and the bug will happen instantly.
5. Open "Test4.unity" scene file. (This is the working file).
Note: In Test4 you can observe the particles behaving properly.
6. Press play and observe the working scene.
Note: I've attached a screen shot showing both working and odd-sorting behaviours.
Tried:
Tried to set the Shurikens renderer sortinglayer to "Foreground" as a previous problem with sprites and particles was fixed this way, however it did not work.
Work around:
1. Select the child gameobject of the particle object "Explosion".
2. In the inspector expand the material and increase the "Soft particles factor".
Increasing the soft particles factor slider on the particles

In the scene that works shadows are disabled however in the scene with the issue shadows are enabled.
Soft particles only work when the camera already renders depth textures otherwise they are just hard particles. Once shadows are enabled then the camera does start rendering a depth texture and so soft particles are used and you get the problem. Switching to a different shader should fix the problem.
