UIFX 2.1.3 Update

Our powerful Unity UI package UIFX has been updated to version 2.1.3!

You can read about the changes in the release notes below:

UIFX 2.1.3 - 6 October 2026

Added

Component Screenshot

  • Added support for applying UIFX filters to the SVGImage component (part of the com.unity.vectorgraphics package) which allows SVG vector images to be rendered in UGUI.
  • Added new MSAA Filter which enabled UGUI components to render with MSAA (multisample anti-aliasing) - especially useful for theSVGImage component.

Changed

  • Composite Layer now renders in Canvas space rather than Screen space. This fixes a number of issues, especially in world-space (VR) rendering.

Fixed

  • Fixed regression from v2.1.1 in DistanceMap shader which caused low quality rendering for Outline Filter, Glow Filter and Long Shadow Filter.
  • Fixed TextMeshPro not updating rendering in Composite Layer when a layout element changed (eg Horizontal Layout) when using Canvas space rendering mode.
  • Fixed some errors thrown when deleting children of a Composite Layer.

UIFX 2.1.2 Update

Our powerful Unity UI package UIFX has been updated to version 2.1.2!

You can read about the changes in the release notes below:

UIFX 2.1.2 - 31 August 2026

Added

  • Wipe Filter has a new Tiles wipe style.

Changed

  • Wipe Filter is now correctly resolution-independent, such means any previously set distance values may need readjusting.

Improved

  • Box Blur now supports WebGL 1.0 (but limited to 16 pixels radius).

Fixed

  • Fixed build error in Shader Filter when BETA mode enabled.
  • Fixed incorrect processor define in FilterBase.OnValidate that caused excessive Unity editor repainting.
  • Fixed WebGL build shader compile issue in DistanceMap shader introduced in version 2.1.1.

UIFX 2.1.1 Update

Our powerful Unity UI package UIFX has been updated to version 2.1.1!

You can read about the changes in the release notes below:

UIFX 2.1.1 - 19 August 2026

Improved

  • Add UGUI inspector button now includes Layout components.
  • Huge Distance Map shader optimisations for Outline Filter, Glow Filter, Long Shadow Filter and Soft Shadow Filter.
  • Composite Layer now better handles dynamic changes of children and nesting, and now supports classes derived from TextureMeshProUGUI.
  • Filters using AnimationCurve optimised to only update their textures when the curve changes.
  • General code refactoring.

Fixed

  • Fixed bug where nested Canvas could break support for RectMask2D.
  • Fixed Glow Filter Inside mode not creating glow when object has no zero alpha.

UIFX 2.1.0 Update

Our powerful Unity UI package UIFX has been updated to version 2.1.0!

You can read about the changes in the release notes below:

UIFX 2.1.0 - 5 August 2026

Added

  • Added new Inner Glow Filter beta component, which is very similar to the Photoshop filter of the same name.

  • Added new Shader Filter beta component, which allows single custom shaders to be applied in the UIFX stack.

  • Improved workflow with new Preferences option to show UIFX shortcuts below the [Add Component] button in the Inspector.

    Featured Image

Changed

Improved

  • Outline Filter can now output HDR color and has had shader optimisations. It was also optimised so changing properties that don't affect rendering no longer cause rerendering (eg changing Gradient settings when not in gradient mode).
  • Shine Filter has new FillSpace property which allows the shine effect to operate in screen-space, meaning you can easily apply a shine to multiple components. It also now has scripting properties exposed.
  • Edge Lighting Filter has new Inner Shadow property and has been refactored.
  • Optimisation: large reduction in garbage generation & Material instances used in filters.
  • Shaders from BETA components and UITK components are now always selectable for stripping.
  • BETA components have better support - they can now always be accessed and have their own component sub-menu.
  • Gooey Filter has been optimised with multi-pass dilate.
  • Vertex Skew no longer requires Graphic component, allowing these components to more easily be removed.
  • Minor improvements to Composite Layer.
  • Components now appear under the UI (Canvas) menu in modern Unity versions.
  • Bake buttons combined into a single button.

Fixed

  • Fixed bug in Composite Layer when no Canvas was assigned.
  • Fixed bug in Drop Shadow Filter where Inset mode with Spread and no blur wouldn't render.
