    Hello everyone,
    I want to make a triangle, circle and a square but have no idea how. I tried everything but I'm completely noobie so I didn't succeed. I really need your help.

    Thank you,
    Kind regards,
    Ivan.

    The easiest way is to simply paint them in photoshop, gimp or paint.net, and import them into unity as sprites.

    Thank you for the answer but I still have problem with picture background.
    It's white but I'd like to have just shape without any background ...

    You simply need to make the background transparent in your image editor. When you set the texture type to sprite in unity it should pick this up.

    Make sure you are exporting the image as a file type that includes an alpha channel; like .png

    Yeaah it works :)
    I was exporting my pictures as .jpg so I always had background.
    Thank you both for helping! :)
