My game needs to be in canvas overlay. Can I animate on that? It’s not showing up in game view right now?

Maybe I can stick the animation to a separate camera? any ideas for me?
I’ve never animated anything before so might be a simple fix?

Give us some extra detais. do you mean if you can animate buttons/images... if thats the case, yes sure you can animate. Share some details of what you are trying to do and what happens

It has never been a problem for me, if your object doesn’t show, make sure your camera is not to far away on the Z axis. If it’s just the animation you have problems with it’s probably not because of the UI, but maybe because you have setup your animations wrong somehow.

My game is on canvas only. I assume my camera is on z1, that's what the transform say anyways. To clarify. the animation I want to do if possible. is a simple moving the head and arms a tiny bit in a 3 sec animation. they're just png images. I don't know if it works putting them on UI image for animations. I tried them as sprites and it works great, just not showing up at all on game view or runtime while under Canvas -screen space overlay Which I must have for my other stuff to work.
