Using transparent images in Unity
I am trying to make a prefab that is basically a image. To do this, i have made a cube and put on it an image i have. But i have a problem =/
My image have transparent background, but in Unity, it simply doesn't have. When i put the image on the desktop OR open it on any image editor, it appears as it were to be, transparent. But when i import it to Unity, it's background automatically change to black, and the transparency doesn't exists anymore. I have put a transparency shader, but it still doesn't show the transparency, but instead, a black background.
This is really annoying me, and i am almost finishing a game. I don't have much time left to finish this, otherwise i will mess up with all my work, and this is the ONLY problem i have. Can someone help me? Like, NOW?
Is it a jpeg? Those only have a fake transparency trick, so aren't really transparent as far as Unity (any game engine) is concerned.
Change your material rendering mode to cutout, fade, or transparent and it will work.
At the end of the OPs second paragraph, they mention using a transparent shader. Shader? What?
Above the Rendering $$anonymous$$ode dropdown, it says "StandardShader." If you click that drop-down, it has options for more, some of which are transparent (or cut-out, etc... .) Those are real shaders.
StandardShader is more like a Unity-provided wizard, that picks/builds the appropriate shader from the rest of the list, based on your settings.
(Then, to be sure, the Q is 6 months old and marked time-sensitive, so they've probably solved it by now.)
