Well, as far as I understand, and as far as I have my own applications for such kind of scenes. You will need an own render bin number for each object if every object just depends on the previous object to be rendered before. Else the StateSet sorting might reorder the drawables - true?
Anyway, Robert, I believe it would help to have a 'SceneGraphOrderSorted' renderbin where the sorting order of the of the child nodes is just taken. Can we have such a beast? > Using a custom drawable would very rarely be required for this type of > work. Well, this might be an option in this case also. I have such a problem too. I have a huge amount of small objects that require to be drawn in a particular order. Putting them into an own renderbin introduces a noticable runtime overhead compared to the defaullt renderbin execution time. So if there is no way for such a scenegraph ordered renderbin, a custom drawable might be something to at least think about. Any chance for such a RenderBin where the scenegraph order is preserved?
