Hey,

I´m looking for a way to highlight an object behind an another object when hovering over it.
I´ve attacked a picture to show the effect I´m after.
I want to highlight different flats inside a building on hover.
The only way I´ve found so far is the outline feature, but would prefer to have an full overlay.

Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks and br

hello!

at the moment this is can be done only with coding, by disabling depth test:

v3d.SceneUtils.getMaterialByName(v3d.apps[0], 'myMaterial').depthTest = false;

we’ll make it possible with blender or max UI

thanks, so far so good.
Unfortunately this doesn´t work if the sphere is inside the box, because the hover will not be recognized.
Is there a way to trigger the hover effect even if it is inside?

you can try to make an invisible mesh above your objects to make it responsible for hovering (if I understood correctly)
