The Unity Asset - UI Particle System is an advanced plugin for integrating 3D particles into Unity's GUI, simplifying processes such as sorting orders and canvas management. It is designed to be mobile-friendly with an efficient depth buffer to minimize performance costs.
Key features include rendering particles on the GUI with a custom depth buffer, full support for the Shuriken Particle System (requiring only a shader change), a culling mask feature for scroll views, and easy setup with an attachable UI Particle system component.
