(2.4.5)Is sprite supported in 3D scene (which the layer order would change depend on the z-index)?

Does cocos creator 2.4.5 support 3D scene with sprites (which the layer order would change depend on the z-index)?

Using cocos creator 2.4.5, I don’t know if it is my problem (wrong settings), when I tried to create a sprite and a sphere, both at position 0,0:


I expect I can see the half sphere only because the sprite should block another half of the sphere, but now it seems not in preview : the whole sphere seems always on the top of the sprite when rendering, and when running the scene:

The whole sphere is still on the top of the sprite.

Is that my problem?If so, is there any settings to change which the render layering becomes the actual 3D (half of the sphere is behind the sprite)?
