Inverse UI Mask

Links: Manual

🐭 This asset is part of the UI Bundle🐭

InverseMask hides anything inside the masked ui area and shows everything outside.

✔ Code & Code-Less options

You don't like foreign code in your project? No problem! Check out the NoCodeDemo in the examples.

✔ Non-destructive

Unlike other masking solutions this one leaves your materials alone. Not extra shaders, no changes to your assets!

✔ URP / HDRP / BuiltIn Support

Works with all render pipelines.

✔ Sprite Mesh shapes

Use any of your images or one of the predefined resolution-independent sprite meshes.

✔ Content and masks can be moved independently

No parent/child depenency in the hierarchy.

✔ Punch as many holes as you like

Automatically merges mask objects into one mask.

✔ Full Source Code

Comments in the code explain everything. Uses assembly definitions to improve compile times.

I publish this template with full source code because as a developer I know how annoying it is to not have source code access. If you like it then please remind others to purchase the plugin. Don't just copy and paste it everywhere. Thank you ❤️

✔ Demos included

Under Assets/Kamgam/InvertedMask/Examples you will find some scenes with examples. You can copy the mask from there.

✔ Supports Unity 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 / Unity 6, LTS

Please try upgrading to the newest LTS of your Unity release. Unity BETA release are not officially supported (i.e. I am not testing those regularly).

⚠️ ️N O T I C E

The InverseMask uses the same stencil buffer approach as Unitys own UI Mask. Therefore it also does not support soft masks.

Inverse UI masks do not support stacking with Unitys own native UI masks. They are not in conflict, yet if you decide to put an inverse UI mask into a Unity mask it will not be masked by the Unity mask.
