Alpha backgrounds

By londondirt on Fri, 11/16/2018 - 23:28

Hi all,

I am new here, and am not very experienced with Vuforia / Unity, although I am loving the learning curve :)

I wanted to ask about transparency in relation to AR images. 

I am using adobe Illustrator to create text elements that I would like to display when tracking a static target image. I can display the text images on my screen in relation to the target image, but currently I am unable to remove the background. I am importing them from Illustrator with the BG as alpha, but when they arrive in Unity they are a solid colour. 

My aim is to have just the text visible, in relation to the tracked image.

Can anyone tell me if this is possible?

 

Thanks

Alex

 

 

Maybe try clicking the image in the Project view, then click Alpha is transparency in the Inspector.  Consider asking these types of questions in the Unity forums, since this doesn't seem related to Vuforia but a general Unity question.
