How to remove the overlay material?

[yaaru]

Hello!
How to remove overlay materials (example in the picture)?
It is necessary - if two pipes intersect and their materials are duplicated, then make it so that it would not be visible.
I guess you need to look in the direction of the shader?

I will be grateful for any advice!

[yaaru]

Gentlemen, you really need a solution!
How can I be?

[mgear]

do you need to use transparent material?

[yaaru]

Yes, under the conditions of the problem this is not discussed

so maybe its this issue,

Transparent Depth Shader (good for ghosts!)

So one of the things you will encounter when rendering complex meshs' using standard transparent rendering is that they depth test against the scene, but not against themselves. This is a limitation of how depth tested rendering works and there are some ways to work around this issue. I'm going to talk about one of them, then show you how to do it in Unity. So lets start by rendering a scene that has some complex geometry (in this context I am using complex to refer to geometry where there are…

Thank you, but it’s not quite that.
Or I did not apply it correctly.
The pipe in the picture consists of + -20 objects, each has its own mesh.
And what you offer works only if the mesh is on one object.

The pipe drawing algorithm assumes exactly such an implementation (from several objects).

Maybe I need to dig the other way? For example blur?
I will be grateful for anyone?
