How to Render a 3D Model on a Unity UI Canvas Greetings, in this Unity tutorial we shall be looking at how to place a 3D model on a UI canvas. This can be great if you need to render a mesh on a UI canvas for somehting like an inventory menu or for inspecting an item. Whatever the reason, this quick Unity tutorial will show you how to show a 3D model on a UI Canvas. Firstly create a new camera and position it so it can see the 3D model you want to place on the canvas. The next step for rendering a model on a ui canvas in Unity is to create a new layer. Call it whatever you want. It could be called "3D Model on Canvas". Set the layer of the 3D model you want to show on the ui canvas to be the layer you created. Now go to the camera you created and set the clear flags to solid colour (unless you want a skybox behind your 3D model on the UI canvas). If you want just the 3D model with transparency behind it, make sure the colour of the camera's solid colour background has an alpha of 0. Then for culling mask click on "nothing" then click on the layer that we created. In this example the "3D Model on Canvas" layer. Now this camera will only render anything on the layer you created, the "3D Model on Canvas" layer in this example. Now create a render texture and set the settings to be what this video has. Then go to the camera you created, go to target texture and set it to be the texture you created. Now create a canvas and add a raw image to it. This raw will render what the camera can see. So we can use this to render a model on the UI canvas. Drag and drop the render texture onto the raw image. Then position the raw image to be where you want to place the model on the ui canvas. That is it, that is all you need to do to show a 3D model on a Unity Canvas. Thanks for watching this Unity tutorial on how to place a 3d model on a unity canvas.
