I would like to use fonts as a mask for image (like a gradient or a cutout for an image) however i dont seem to be able to get softmask to work with textmeshpro. is there a tutorial or a demo for textmeshpro?

I am using unity 6 (v6000.0.28f1)

I apply softmask to my textmeshpro, but the image doesnt appear through the text. im not sure what im doing wrong. i have also added the textmeshpro shaders to the project

top is the old unity mask, bottom is soft mask (without any other changes)

In project settings it looks like :

Thank you for your reporting!
Upon investigation, I noticed that TextMeshProUGUI does not support the SoftMask component.
However, the MaskingShape component is supported.

Implement it as follows:
SoftMask.prefab.zip

BTW, this is a bug, so I will support it in the near future.
