I have a few CubeGeometry objects rendered on the CanvasRenderer. I am getting some clipping issues due to depth sorting as shown on the following image.
Now I have seen the responses on here that this is due to limitations in CanvasRenderer and I have tried applying a few things to get a better result but there is still the clipping issues. I have overdraw set to 1 and I have increased segments as much as I can without impacting performance too much.
The image looks correct in the WebGLRenderer but it is not widely supported yet so before I give up on the CanvasRenderer I would like to exhaust all options. Anyone have any other ideas to try?
code for reference:
