Shader Graph Scene Depth node returns no value when using Opaque Surface Type

Package: Shader Graph

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open the user's attached project
2. Open scene Assets/SceneDepth_bugreport
3. Observe the GameObjects "opaque" and "transparent" in the Scene view or Game view

Expected result: Scene Depth node returns a value and the "opaque" GameObject is not black
Actual result: Scene Depth node returns no value and the "opaque" GameObject is black

Reproducible with: 10.8.1 (2020.3.26f1), 12.1.3 (2021.2.8f1), 13.1.4 (2022.1.0b4, 2022.2.0a2)
Could not test with: 7.7.1 (2019.4.34f1) (scripts missing after downgrading)

  1. Resolution Note:

    The Scene Depth node only works on Transparents because it samples the depth buffer (that is only available after the opaques are done rendering). This is working as designed. If you need the depth of opaque objects you can wire the Camera's Position into the A port of the Distance node and wire the Position (set to Absolute World space) into the B port of the Distance node. It's possible that we may choose to alter the Scene Depth node in the future so that it performs these operations, but that will be a new feature, not as a bug resolution.
