We are using ROS & Gazebo over virtual machine (VMWare Player). The Gazebo camera rendering worked fine in the Gazebo shipped with ROS Hydro. But in Gazebo version shipped with ROS Indigo, the camera plugin is rendering objects in the wrong order. See images here and here.

This problem appears to only happen on Virtual Machines (VMWare Player). This has been reported previously here.

It is important for us to work within Virtual Machine, and because ROS Indigo is an LTS release, we would like to upgrade to ROS Indigo. Is there any solution or workaround for this bug?

Could very well be a z-buffer issue due to the graphics driver for the VM not supporting something properly. Perhaps you could search for bugs/reported issues for VMWare Player?

This is also tracked in Gazebo Bittbucket issue #1837. There has been a solution posted hours ago, but it seems to require that you compile Gazebo yourself.

I put some instructions for Indigo/Gazebo2 users without breaking binary compatibility with Gazebo related ros packages here.

Also a quick patch here which involves replacing specific shared library files. This maaaaay not work depending on your environment.
