## What it is
A Unity package that renders ParticleSystem effects directly within UnityUI (uGUI) via CanvasRenderer, without needing extra Camera, RenderTexture, or Canvas. Particles become maskable, sortable UI elements using Unity 2018.2+ MeshBake APIs.

## Use cases
- render particle effects inside uGUI canvas
- mask UI particle effects with Mask or RectMask2D
- sort particles with other UI elements
- add particle effects to UI without extra camera or render texture
- attract particles to a UI position
- preview particle systems in the editor

## When to choose
- you need particle effects integrated into Unity UI hierarchy
- you want particles masked or sorted like normal UI elements
- you want to avoid RenderTexture/camera overhead for UI particles

## When to avoid
- your project targets Unity versions older than 2018.2
- you need 3D world-space particles rather than UI-space effects

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: ui-components, graphics, animation
- domain: graphics, frontend
- platform: game-engine, cross-platform
- tags: unity, ugui, particle-system, ui-effects, csharp, openupm, game-development
