if anyone stumbles upon this : unity's mask component doest take the alpha channel into account now, as long the alpha value is not of exactly 0 Which is ok because you can't really tell the difference between 0 and 1 alpha value
Hi ! Your tutorial is incredibily clear as the one about animaion ! Never seen so precise explanations before ! Thousand thanks ! I wanted to use DOTween for my UI animations but still too obscure to me. I'll follow this tutorial and see later on for DOTween. Thank's a lot.
TROUBLESHOOT HINT: I was experiencing magenta (pink) coloured masks after applying the softmask, and found out that this is a Unity build issue. To correct it, you can delete your Libraries folder in your Unity project root to force Unity to correctly rebuild all assets (including the softmask shader causing the issue). This may take a few minutes to complete. (I'm using a MacBook Pro under Unity 2020.3.26)
Hmm, before trying this. Please try @gavinjones6264 comment first as it may save you a lot of time if your project is large 'FOR ANYONE HAVING PROBLEM WITH PINK TEXT: WINDOW > PACKAGE MANAGER > SELECT "UI Soft Mask" > DROP DOWN BUTTON NEXT TO SAMPLES > IMPORT BUTTON NEXT TO "TextMeshPro Support" '
I came across this trying to make rounded corners on a UI texture2D by adding an alpha mask shader which allows me to set two textures. But this is quite different. Which method is better? Why did this feel so simple but the shader way seemed like a lot? thanks!
are you still giving feedbacks? this package actually messed up my text mesh pro texture. it turns every color of text mesh pro texts into black or grey. have you encountered this problem? if yes, do you know how to fix it?
I'm getting this error everytime I use soft mask - what can I do about it? hader error in 'Hidden/UI/Default (SoftMaskable)': Program 'frag', error X8000: D3D11 Internal Compiler Error: Invalid Bytecode: Incompatible min precision type for operand #1 of opcode #76 (counts are 1-based).

Hey guys, I'm wondering if someone can help. I have a UI with some mask on it then after adding urp it won't work, I've changed its material into sprite unlit but it's still the same.
Hey, was wondering if you knew how to get a rect mask 2D (from a scroll view) to work on objects with their own canvas and override sorting? or alternatively, how can I have objects in a grid layout within a scrollview change their sort order without re-ordering the layout group and allowing me to mask them all still? I can't seem to find any example of how to do this anywhere. Thanks.
I want to mask UI , but don't want the parent to contain the mask component , that is , I want a mask component on a free object not on parent coz I will be changing the size of parent and this is causing me to change in masking area , What can I do , Please help. Sprite mask is perfect , in that I am not forced to attach it to only parent , can't this type of thing done for UI ?
2 years later and I still have no clue. BUT, I do know more details of what I am trying to do. I essentially am trying to do that above. But my gameobjects are using the Layer - gameplay. Where you are using Layer - UI. My sprites also have a Sprite Renderer on them where your's has canvas renderer. So with those two details, can I get mask to work? or does it only work with UI?
Its very useful tutorial. Can you please make a UI like Free Fire or PUBG game. Player Selection UI. And Main menu UI where player standing in first scene.
This definitely needs more attention. What a great tutorial! The UA-cam algorithm has done good today.
Wow, thanks! 🎉 More Unity UI videos coming soon!
IMPORTANT:
To those guys whose Git Link isn't working, you need to add .git at the end to fetch the asset properly.
Legend, thank you!
instead downloading git, i downloaded the package from git hub and added the script to package manager
IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO FIND YOU
Thanks!!! CAn't believe unity doesn'thave built in support for this basic feature
Glad to hear that, good luck with your projects! 🌻
Woah, that is amazing tutorial! Thank you so much! I had no idea there is mask 2d - I will be using it heavily :D.
THe softmask dont work in URP... what to do?
This video is golden thank you very much for this valuable information :)
Feels good to learn something new. Thanks.
Great video mate! Look forward to more
Thank you! Short and concise! Perfect.
AMAZING, great tutorial now i have a great looking mini map !
Very good for images. Text Mesh Pro GUI pecomes purple, though.
Maaaan! You just save me a lot of time! Thank you a lot! Great tutorial

Which is ok because you can't really tell the difference between 0 and 1 alpha value
Any reason why all the elements inside this softmask appear purple,as if they are not rendering?
Awesome tutorial, helped me a lot with UI.
this seems really useful! ill be saving this and subscribing to use these vids later :)
You remind me of Clear Code YT channel, he makes Godot tutorials (and any other tutorials) in the same pleasurable and relaxing way! 😊
Hi ! Your tutorial is incredibily clear as the one about animaion ! Never seen so precise explanations before ! Thousand thanks !
I wanted to use DOTween for my UI animations but still too obscure to me. I'll follow this tutorial and see later on for DOTween.
Thank's a lot.
So cool! Thanks a lot!

Nice Tutorial !!
Don't forget the .git at the end when using the url!
Great tutorial, well explained!
Glad you enjoyed it! Check out other Unity UI tutorials on Coco Code ;)
Great, thank you, exactly what I was looking for :)
Glad it helped!
Ur Tuts are Unique like you.... 😍
you saved my life. thanks a lot
why the hell is the soft mask feature not a default feature? Come on Unity...smh...
great tutorial btw, just what i needed.
Followed your steps, but Mask component doesn't have the option to convert it into a SoftMask
Perfect!
SUBSCRIBED!

Did u using custom shader?

Does it work with URP? I am getting an error in one of the shaders in this package and pink color instead of actual content inside the mask.
Thank you!
Hello! Great tutor! Maybe you know, why mask unworking when i used material on my sprite for additive effect!?
Thanks!
are you still giving feedbacks?
this package actually messed up my text mesh pro texture. it turns every color of text mesh pro texts into black or grey.
have you encountered this problem? if yes, do you know how to fix it?
but it didn't work in URP
Use a shader 🤷

Question: will this work on iOS and Android devices? Normal masking working in unity but not on mobile builds
Normal masking does work on mobile as well!
How do I get the git url? the one in the description doesnt work.

Great video. Can't seem to install via Git link
I'm having the same problem.
You need to add .git to the end of the URL when pasting. That's what worked for me.
@@walmartbiryani5593 That's what i needed. Thanks!
Softmask doesn't seem to be working. There is no fix icon, and I just get an orange square with a white circle and it does nothing.
love that boice
could u show how to import the soft mask into unity from git hub as i am getting some errors
I want to mask UI , but don't want the parent to contain the mask component ,
that is , I want a mask component on a free object not on parent coz I will be changing the size of parent and this is causing me to change in masking area ,
What can I do , Please help.
Sprite mask is perfect , in that I am not forced to attach it to only parent , can't this type of thing done for UI ?
help: there are no package manager option in my window tab
Can somebody tell what to do to make mask shape exactly like image. Because my mask is rectangular like its rect transform.
Have you watched the second part of the video? ;)
Can you create mask that is different shapes? like a star?
I guess you don't check the comments - oh well. Still have no idea how to animate a mask. lol
2 years later and I still have no clue. BUT, I do know more details of what I am trying to do. I essentially am trying to do that above. But my gameobjects are using the Layer - gameplay. Where you are using Layer - UI. My sprites also have a Sprite Renderer on them where your's has canvas renderer.
So with those two details, can I get mask to work? or does it only work with UI?
Great. I am Russian but I forgot all.thx
Nice mask tutorial. i know its not the purpose of the content, but. How to SCROLL!?(>:\/)
Hi! I see you're binge watching my tutorials - you can find one more about scrolling on my channel!
Its very useful tutorial.
Can you please make a UI like Free Fire or PUBG game. Player Selection UI. And Main menu UI where player standing in first scene.
