With the non-steam version you always have a chance to reinstall an earlier version, as long as you keep saving the old setups (not all, of course).

#Open canvas 6 key settings update#

Sure, you have no need to worry about manually downloading and installing the new version, but if an update somehow screws something up, there's no chance of a rollback. The Steam version updates on it's own, which is both good and bad. To the point that you can, for example, start a piece with the non-steam version and conclude it with the steam version, or vice-versa. Both versions have the exact same tools, and work the same way. This is also known as a “diegetic interface”.Having both versions, here's what I can mention off the top of my head: This is useful for UIs that are meant to be a part of the world. The size of the Canvas can be set manually using its Rect Transform, and UI elements will render in front of or behind other objects in the scene based on 3D placement. In this render mode, the Canvas will behave as any other object in the scene. UI in screen space camera canvas World Space If the screen is resized, changes resolution, or the camera frustum changes, the Canvas will automatically change size to match as well.

If the Camera is set to Perspective, the UI elements will be rendered with perspective, and the amount of perspective distortion can be controlled by the Camera Field of View. The UI elements are rendered by this camera, which means that the Camera settings affect the appearance of the UI.

The output is either drawn to the screen or captured as a texture. This is similar to Screen Space - Overlay, but in this render mode the Canvas is placed a given distance in front of a specified Camera A component which creates an image of a particular viewpoint in your scene. UI in screen space overlay canvas Screen Space - Camera If the screen is resized or changes resolution, the Canvas will automatically change size to match this. This render mode places UI elements on the screen rendered on top of the scene. The Canvas has a Render Mode setting which can be used to make it render in screen space or world space. More info See in Glossary: SetAsFirstSibling, SetAsLastSibling, and SetSiblingIndex. The order can also be controlled from scripting by using these methods on the Transform component A Transform component determines the Position, Rotation, and Scale of each object in the scene. To change which element appear on top of other elements, simply reorder the elements in the Hierarchy by dragging them. If two UI elements overlap, the later one will appear on top of the earlier one. The first child is drawn first, the second child next, and so on. UI elements in the Canvas are drawn in the same order they appear in the Hierarchy. This makes it easy to position UI elements without needing to have the Game View visible at all times.Ĭanvas uses the EventSystem object to help the Messaging System. In each Scene, you place your environments, obstacles, and decorations, essentially designing and building your game in pieces. Think of each unique Scene file as a unique level. The Canvas area is shown as a rectangle in the Scene A Scene contains the environments and menus of your game. The UI element is created as a child to this Canvas.

The Canvas is a Game Object with a Canvas component on it, and all UI elements must be children of such a Canvas.Ĭreating a new UI element, such as an Image using the menu GameObject > UI > Image, automatically creates a Canvas, if there isn’t already a Canvas in the scene. More info See in Glossary elements should be inside. The Canvas is the area that all UI (User Interface) Allows a user to interact with your application.
