Can't setup a stereo image in the same canvas (can't setup 2 different layers in the same canvas)

Unity Engine

Unity Version: Unity 5.5

Hey guys,

I’m trying to setup a stereo thumbnail in my UIcanvas. If I didnt have any stereo images to display, I would leave the canvas to layer UI and render it with the default camera (set to worldspace). Now, since I got 2 images (left and right), I need 2 cameras to render with 2 different culling mask - left eye and right eye.

Here is what I would like:

Camera 1

  • Set to left eye
  • culling mask to layer ‘‘leftEye’’

Camera 2

  • Set to right eye
  • culling mask to layer ‘‘rightEye’’

UICanvas in world space

  • image_left with layer set to ‘‘leftEye’’
  • image_right with layer set to ‘‘rightEye’’

Unfortunatly, I’m not able to do this. Looks like Unity wont let me use 2 different layer on the same canvas!?

Here is what I need to do:

Camera 1

  • Set to left eye
  • culling mask to layer ‘‘leftEye’’

Camera 2

  • Set to right eye
  • culling mask to layer ‘‘rightEye’’

UICanvas1 in world space

  • image_left with layer set to ‘‘leftEye’’

UICanvas2 in world space

  • image_right with layer set to ‘‘rightEye’’

This one works for some reason?

Any clue why I cant set 2 different layers in the same UICanvas?
Thanks!
