Graphics.DrawMesh changing layer does nothing

[Zylkowski_a]

I have a problem, I am trying to render player on top of terrain and I have to use Graphics.DrawMesh because I am working in ECS, all the terrain has argument 0 in layer, player has argument 1 and it’s still rendered under terrain. WHY?

[Aratow]

Currently, the sorting layer does not apply on entities and Graphics.DrawMesh.
Workarounds are either using the Z position (with ZWrite On in shader), or directly setting the render queue on material inspector.
It’s unfortunate, and I sure hope they are working on it.

Drawing from data without Hybrid Renderer

I have a situation where it is difficult to attach RenderMesh and LocalToWorld to my data entities that I would like to draw. Instead, I would like to iterate through my data with EntityQuery then call some drawing methods without using any Hybrid Renderer systems. I have never used any manual drawing methods before, I have look at the Graphics API (https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Graphics.html) I got some questions : https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Graphics.DrawMesh.html …
