I've just successfully converted my project from Ngui 2.7 to 3.02 and am now working on sprite scaling. Using 2.7, I was scaling a sprite on a billboard attached to a 3D gameobject using transform.scale. As the camera distance changed, the sprite size adjusted (via transform.scale) to retain the same footprint on the screen. All well and good.
Now with 3.0 I've started using Widget height and width. When I scale height and width the sprite does enlarge/shrink as a function of camera distance, down to 1,1. Unfortunately, the sprite is too large at 1,1 when I zoom up close. Of course I can't go lower in height and width, so I figured my sprite was just too large to start with, so I tried a much smaller one and it makes no difference at 1,1 when zoomed close. It is the same size relative to my objects up close as the larger sprite. I must admit I don't understand why.
I finally was able to get the image small enough when zoomed in by scaling the transform like I was doing in 2.7, although I thought that wasn't supposed to work anymore.
The bottom line of all this is I want to scale a sprite as a function of camera distance, thereby retaining the same 'visual footprint' on the screen. The problem is I can't go below 1,1 whereas with 2.7 using transform.scale I could. How would you accomplish this objective with 3.0? I'd prefer not to have to manipulate BOTH widget height/width AND transform.scale at the same time...
