hi... I added a texture that is circle... but when I draw texture it is a white rectangle that a circle is in the middle... I cut the white place of picture with photoshop ... but unity still show the white part... If I want to draw a circle or and arrow or a person's head as an texture in unity , and in their original borders what should I do?

You need to have an alpha channel! $$anonymous$$ake sure that all your import and export settings are right.

As an added note, be $$anonymous$$dful of the fileformat you're choosing for the texture. Some fileformats don't support transparency. This is the case with JPEG, for example. A fileformat that does support transparency is png.

As far as I know, photoshop treats transparency differently in png than with other formats (which is weird, since it should just be an export setting). So, be careful with that.
