I created a world space canvas, where I put an image.
On top of that image, I put a material with a custom shadder I found there http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/878667/world-space-canvas-on-top-of-everything.html
That works great, except when I come close to a big object, my UI dissapears.
When I clean occlusion, that works well.
Problem is my UICanvas and my image are not tagged as "static". Also I tried to bake when my UI canvas was disabled and I still have the same problem.
The shadder used by my UI elements has "Cull Off".
How it should be (Occlusion not baked) :

When I move my UICanvas next to me (y > 0), my canvas appears.
Do you know why I can have this problem ?
I had this issue, add a second camera with depth only and change the culling mask to the layer of your UI elements.

I'm working on my game and I want to add an inventory type system, when I added the panel it was a little transparent while the one in the video was watching was not. I didn’t see any setting for transparency in the Unity inspector for both the canvas and the panel. The UI mode is an overlay
I didn’t try much other than clicking all the check boxes, and I was excepting for the up to be a solid color.
If you have a Canvas Group in your hierarchy, it can come from here (Alpha property).
I needed to go to colors and slide this slider all the way up or down (the slider you need to change)
I'm using Unity 2022.1.23f1 and the Universal Render Pipeline. I have a render texture, set to 480x270 with point filtering, to get a cool pixelated effect. In my scenes, I output the camera into the pixelated render texture and render it in a raw image under a Screen Space Overlay canvas. This makes it so that everything is rendered in 480x270.
Everything worked perfectly fine in the main gameplay, as there aren't any UI buttons to press. However, in my main menu scene I have three UI buttons for starting the game, accessing the options menu and quitting the game. The main menu is in 3D, featuring a desk with a monitor on it. I thought it would be cool to have the UI buttons look like they're on the monitor, which is why I made a World Space canvas, where I positioned the three UI buttons on the monitor.
I thought it would be easy to make the buttons interactable, but they don't work. I'm sure it's because the pixelation effect is blocking the UI buttons on the World Space canvas.
I removed the pixelation effect, along with the Screen Space Overlay canvas which holds it, and the buttons worked perfectly.
I googled the problem and found someone saying to remove the Graphic Raycaster component in the Scren Space Overlay Canvas, but that didn't work. I also turned off "Raycast Target" in the pixelation effect's raw image gameobject, but that also didn't work.
Is there any way to make it so that I can interact with the UI buttons in the World Space canvas, while also having the Screen Space Overlay canvas with the pixelation effect? Any help - or even suggestions to make a better pixelation effect - would be appreciated!
I just added 3D Text on my scene and it is invisible on the background of Canvas, that is "Render Mode: Screen Space - Camera". How i can make it visible on background of my canvas?
There are 2 ways to fix this:
Change the Sorting Layer of the obstructing object to be one behind that of the text, or change the Order in layer of the obstructing object to be lower than that of the canvas.
OR
Create a new canvas with a higher Sorting Layer (you may need to create a new one) or Order in Canvas and place the text in the new canvas.
As an example, here I have my normal text in a lower canvas, but I created an overlay canvas for text that absolutely must go above everything else.
I find that the second solution is a better general solution for the issue, as in the first solution you have to change the layers for every object in the scene that might obstruct your text.
I have two canvas' set up for my project, one to act as a background and one to hold foreground UI elements. Originally they were set to world space, and I had no problems, but now I am optimizing my game, I must change the space so they adjust to mobile phones. How can I design the canvas' so that one acts in the background and the other in the foreground? I have tried changing the z-pos and other quick fixes I found online but none have worked.
Ok, you have background canvas, sprites and foreground canvas, and background canvas should be behind everything including sprites.
The idea is to render at first only background with one camera, and then render everything with another.
To do that, we should:
Add a layer for background canvas. Change layer of background canvas and children to that layer.
To add a layer, select any gameObject and in top of the inspector you will see:
Click on a dropdown list labeled "Layer" and select "Add Layer". Then create new layer and give it a name:
Select your background canvas and change layer for it and its children. When adding gameObjects, keep in mind that if you add them to background canvas, their layer must be the same as the layer of canvas, otherwise they will be rendered by the wrong camera.
Disable that layer in main camera's culling mask.
Now the camera should no longer render background UI, and it will disappear in the game view.
Add a camera for rendering background UI.
Cameras with higher depth render on top of those with lower depth, so we should set its depth to less than depth of main camera. We should also set its culling mask to only layer for background UI, otherwise all objects on scene will be rendered twice. Copy other setting from main camera. Set main camera's clear mode to Don't Clear or Depth Only to prevent it from erasing background.
Set mode of the background canvas to Screen Space - Camera and drag newly created camera into field "Render Camera" there.
It should work now.
I'm currently writing up a UI-Centric game, and I've added a small image overlay over some elements on screen. However, the problem is that now I can't click any buttons behind this overlay image, regardless of transparency etc.
Just to chance it, I set up a new layer called "noUIclick" and set it to ignore every other layer under physics settings - long shot I know, but no dice. Tried also simply swapping to 3D view and moving the overlay image back on the z-axis.
Is there any easy way to set a layer for UI components which will entirely ignore/allow for passthrough of mouseclicks onto the buttons in the background?
On the Image component, uncheck raycastTarget.
