UI Mask + Sprite Mask

Hi all,

I'm using both UI Image and Sprite Renderer to draw to the screen. I need both to be masked within the confines of the "box" that is my play area.

If I add a Mask component, the UI Images get masked correctly, and if I add a Sprite Mask the Sprite Renderer images get masked correctly, but if I use both, the Sprite Renderer images do not render at all (the UI Mask component is affecting them).

Can anyone let me know how I can mask both UI Image and Sprite Renderer images correctly?

Thanks,
Primoz

 

Perhaps this will help you:

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/LayerBasedCollision.html

I'm not sure if transparentFX has anything to do with masks but there is a UI layer in there and it sounds like perhaps your masks are colliding with eachother.

I don't know much about masks so take this advice with a lot of salt, lol.

 

For anyone who reach this post,

At Unity 2019, on Sprite Mask component, there is a toggle named "Custom Range". If you toggle on, you can adjust the affected layer. This means you can prevent the layer of UI Canvas be affected by Sprite Mask.

Otherwise, if you toggle off, it affects all layers.
