2D Lights with Canvas

[tildebox]

Hi, I have a 2020.1.1 2D “Universal Render Pipeline” project.

I add 2D lights to the scene like “Point Light 2D” and they work.

But that’s not what I want. I wanna use 2D lights with my Canvas (Screen Space - Overlay)!

If I add 2D lights to the canvas they don’t work.

Do I have to activate something in the settings?

Just add to the UI Images the Sprite Lit Material. Don’t know if works with Overlay Screen Space, but with Camera ScreenSpace works well.
Cheers.

This might be a bit late, but if you check the Material of the “Image” component and then press the Eye Symbol to show all of the Materials, you’ll be able to access it.
