Hi, i want make game menu with shade and light,but when i create canvas, add light, image, and choose texture material e.g Diffuse Nothing appear in Game mode. if choose material “None” or Default form UI, then Image will show in game mode. i pin screen here, and my question: Is a way to make the stars lighting, to lighten up, a background? Thanks for Help, and sorry for my bad english.
I have the same problem, there no way to light inside the canvas, because I think the new UI doesn’t support any material relate to light like diffuse, lit, etc.
So, the only way is use it outside of canvas with sprite renderer if you use sprite or mesh renderer if you use texture.
I had to report that bug today. I hope they will fix it for the next patch.
Sorry my English, it’s no my native language.
Yes you can lights in 4.6 UI too.
Just a matter of using Sprites/Diffuse shader on image you want to lit with lights.
You need to create material first because by default image component has None material in its property.
Hope this helps
