    Hi,
    I am using the new UI system.
    I am trying to displaying an image with a mask on the top of it. It works well, but I would like my mask to have have "soft edges" with a gradient of transparency. If I just tune the alpha of my mask picture it is not taken into account and just display/hide part of the underlying image.

    Is it even possible to define a transparency with a mask ?

    Thanks in advance,
    Stephane

    Hi,
    We are using the stencil buffer which is either on or off for masking. You could potentially do this with a custom shader on the element that is being masked.
