[Solved] "Depth" Pass doesn't work with SSAO (tested on URP 12.1)

[jiaozi158]

When I was trying to apply Depth of Field post-process effect, I found that some sorting problems appear.

Using URP 12.1 (Unity 2021.2.0f1):

Then I opened the Shell sample scene to check if it is because of my wrong settings.

In the Frame Debugger, all the meshes using Shell Shader cannot be written into the Depth (Texture?).

Using URP 12.1 (Unity 2021.2.0f1):

I also tested the Depth in Unity 2020.3.23f1 and Depth of Field works as expected. ( Using the sample project on Github )

I've searched the Unity Forum but found nothing helpful. Is this caused by something changed in the new URP? ( just like the main light shadow )

When I output the DepthOnly to a RenderTexture, it seems to have no problem. (Using another camera)

Using URP 12.1 (Unity 2021.2.0f1):

I found the solution:

In the SSAO, choose Source: Depth and check After Opaque:
