    Hey guys. Mostly looking for a quick sanity check here.

    We want our game's UI match that of a 4k / 3480x2160 display, meaning the artwork that makes up the UI should appear 4k - no upscaling.

    Therefore, artists are exporting UI assets at a resolution that matches a 3480x2160 display and our canvas' reference resolutions are set to 3480x2160 .

    Is that... right? It makes sense to me, and so far seems to be working fine, but it feels like I can't find a single doc, guide, or even testimonial that mentions setting such a reference resolution for 4k. The highest I ever see is 1920x1080, which tells me that either there's a way to target a higher resolution without necessarily basing the canvas resolutions on that, or that no one posting on the internet is terribly concerned with the fidelity of their UI above 1080p.

    Thanks!
