Is there any cheat I can use to get this or should I look into shaders?

Is there any cheat I can use to get this or should I look into shaders?

I’d do it in GUI with some clipping - with a dedicated render predicate if it’s meant to go over other GUI nodes.
This post might be helpful.
Thank you both.
GUI with stencil will do the trick, without having to mess too much with the render script (really need to get into render targets some day).
