Unity MASKING - Ultimate Guide | Unity UI & Sprite Tutorial

First comment :) and I love your videos!

I'M BACK TO UNITY BABY!! Woooooo boy, I sure have missed a lot of your videos after a busy month! Time to binge watch them all!!

Thank You 👍🏻

It's almost 2022 and we still can't have soft mask without using external assets. I hate this engine.

Nice guide. Good job!

Great tutorial! Very useful!
Thanks!

Any reason why all the elements inside this softmask appear purple,as if they are not rendering?

I'm a beginner and finding answers for what I want to do in Unity is just as hard as figuring it what I want to do it seems. But I am working with UI elements, animating with animation track.,
I have 2 scenes - I want one scene to star wipe to the scene behind it. But I can't find anything specific to what I need to do. Any ideas? Thanks

Hey Thanks for the tutorial. very nice explained. What if I wanted to use a material instead of a background image (a sprite unlit image, for UI elements) Because I notice that if you, for example, write something in text mesh pro, create a mask component in it, and assign a UI image as a children, it will be masked fine. But if instead of a texture image, I want to use a material for the image component, the mask doesnt work anymore.

Looking forward for Super Ultimate Guide with Custom Range covered

Hi, is it possible apply soft mask in a Sprite masking? thanks.

When I try to add the soft mask from the git url, it doesn't seem to register. I then did the manual installation of the package but it isn't working, the maskable object component can't be added to anything because it's abstract.

EDIT: I actually think I got it working now, somehow.

EDIT 2: It works, sort of. The masking graphic has a weird partial edge in it so the underneath object is only partially masked.

EDIT 3: So the visual kerfuffle is actually an editor rendering problem, but looks normal in game.

My goal is to create a few soft masks to cut out of a black screen, and reveal the game as the player goes. I have done this by making a few cascading soft circles with the black rectangle as the child of those cascading circles. I am not sure how to implement this in code though (YET).

The soft mask would be a lot more convenient to use if I didn't have to use just images and nest the children. I think I do have a workaround. Since I can't detach the children without breaking the script, instead I can set the children to have a foster parent then after I'm done doing transforms, I reunite the children with the original parents.

awesome

I need sprite masking in UI 😄

Thank you for the tutorial. I use a sprite mask in my game, but no matter what I do it doesn't show up after I press play. Could you please help?

Great little tutorial, thanks.

Hello, great thanks !
And a question)
Can we hide video behind the mask ?

Thank you

In the cutout mask, how to make clicks to work on the cutout area and not work on the remaining area ?

"Ultimate" guide, I came here looking how to use sprite masks to make them affect only certain gameobjects, but this ultimate guide really omitted sorting groups totally. -_-

I want to mask UI , but don't want the parent to contain the mask component ,
that is , I want a mask component on a free object not on parent coz I will be changing the size of parent and this is causing me to change in masking area ,
What can I do , Please help.

Sprite mask is perfect , in that I am not forced to attach it to only parent , can't this type of thing done for UI ?

I have a problem, I have to create a smart glasses, I want to show ui wordspace of some people only in the glasses, I try to use sprite mask (but it works only with objects not with ui element) and ui mask (but it hides only the children), how can I do this?

Thank you! So with this, it will be possible to create an ink transition like Frost Punk UI then play a video inside the mask for instance?
