Supported Image Formats

Does anyone know of a way to get ps2, cmap, i*map or svg formats to render in Unity?

I know about unifycommunity.com , but I need the ability to display text which this project does not support.

The list of Unity’s supported formats can be found at the bottom of this page.

If the format you are looking for is not there, unfortunately it is not natively supported, in which case you may be lucky and find a 3rd party importer plug-in that someone wrote, or you will need to write your own.

SVG is a popular vector graphics format. It has same limitation and advantages like any other vector image formats but SVG is very popular (and it’s open format). Actually most modern browsers (and mobile devices) support it. Also, a graphics developer can create complex vector graphics using various 1 tools available and need not to be programmed. They are not there to replace all raster 2 format but in some specific cases, it may be more advantageous to use vector graphics. After thinking about all these advantages, I went look for unity plugin that can support direct rendering of SVG file or converts it to texture in runtime and show it and I found this:

Guess it may help with your problem.
