"Scene Depth Difference" Node has an input Port which is called Position WS, directly referring to the World Space Position, when only the View Space Position can reflect if the object's depth is below or above the Plane

May 14, 2025

Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached project "ReproProj"
2. Open the “/Assets/Scenes/ShaderGraphBug.unity” Scene
3. Open “/Assets/Shaders/SceneDepthDifference.shadergraph“
4. Observe that the “Scene Depth Difference” Node has an input Port named Position WS
5. Observe the Capsule in the Scene view
6. Select “/Assets/Materials/Capsule.mat“ in the Project window
7. In Inspector, change "Position Input Space" from "View" to "World"
8. Observe that the Capsule is all green, even below the Plane

Expected result: “Scene Depth Difference” Node has a Position Port, which does not refer to World Space
Actual result: “Scene Depth Difference” Node has an input Port named Position WS, which stands for World Space position

Reproducible with: 2022.3.62f1, 6000.0.49f1, 6000.1.3f1, 6000.2.0b1

Reproducible on:
Play Mode
Windows Standalone Player

Note:
- In Shader Graph, the Scene Depth Difference node asks for the World Space position ("Position WS"), and provides it by default if the input is not connected
