Sprite is covering UI

I have a sprite that is animated by a Shader. When I disable the Shader it goes behind the UI.

There's a screenshot below displaying the problem

 

Is this an orthographic project? It looks 3D to me, and I think you're having z-axis issues.

 

My game is 2D and my camera is set to orthographic. The sprites don't go in front of the UI when I set the canvas to overlay instead of camera but I want the post-processing to apply to the UI.

 

On your UI game object there should be a canvas component. In the canvas component there is a sorting order option.


I'd say crank that up all the way so when it renders out, it renders above any other sprites that share the same z axis.
The way Unity treats 2D is that everything is on 0 on the z axis so if there are overlapping sprites or in your case UI camera overlay, they will both be trying to render above.

 

I put the sort order to max but it doesn't work.

 

Hrmm It's hard to say without seeing the project properly. Is the sprite's sorting order being changed via shader or a script or anything?

 

The sprites order in layer is always -14. It seems that when ever I remove the shader the sprite using it goes behind the UI. Here's the Shader

 

I found a way to solve this problem

 

You should share the solution
