    So I use illustrator and make normal .jpg image to vector image.

    Then how to import? Unity don't recognize .ai, .eps, .fxg

    So this means unity can't used with vector image?

    Or what else or how can I ?

    So my purpose is for more clear image when scale it up and down for GUI and 3d image/text

    Thanks.

    Unity has no support for vector images. Everything in 3D is done with bitmap textures on polygons, including GUI objects and text.

    Is there any way to load vector image, to convert it into a bitmap picture and to apply it as a texture?

    And is there any library or method to get a vector image and transform it into a mesh?

    you can use external 3d modelling tools like Blender to import vector images like .svg format and then create a mesh from the curves.
