Can NGUI do 3D sprites?

[Zophiel]

Hello,

I'm working on a little pirate game where if the ship get's hit some sailors are blown off of the ship. Right now I am using SpriteManager and prime31's UIToolKit but i'd like to roll both into one solution.

Can I use NGUI for 3D sprites in the game world? Or am I going to have to use SpriteManager for these types of sprites?

Sure you can. All NGUI widgets are just scripts on game objects. You can position and move them around as you please.

Ideally i would like to spawn them behind 3D objects in the game world and not on the 2D layer.

Then just create your widgets within your 3D world and not within the UI hierarchy.
