Is it possible for the internal function renderObjects in the Three.js source code to be exposed for developers to override via prototype chaining? For example, WebGLRenderer.prototype.renderObjects = (renderList, scene, camera)

For example, when I use the scene.overrideMaterial feature, there are certain models in the scene that I don’t want to be affected by overrideMaterial. In this case, I have to modify the renderObjects source code. But after running npm i, the source code gets reset, which is really annoying…， I think WebGLRenderer.js have too many internal function…

npm patch should be helpful - a bit risky, since three changes source quite often, so just make sure you’re not updating three version too much.

Can you use object.layers to control which groups of stuff you want to render?
https://threejs.org/docs/#api/en/core/Layers
(You set a layer index on the object, and on the camera and only where the group bits overlap, will it render that object)
