How can I make particles in my Unity 3D project act as a UI element? I don't want them to interact with the 3D environment. Is it possible?

I use this for my UI particles. It's free, open source and works great! https://github.com/mob-sakai/ParticleEffectForUGUI

Cozy bonfire loading animation. Took me all day to figure out how to render particles to the UI layer

I am currently only using it during a loading screen for a minimal amount of particles so it isn't performance critical. I found another UIParticle library that is apparently faster than the UI Extensions one but I have yet to try it https://github.com/mob-sakai/ParticleEffectForUGUI

Thank you for sharing, this looks awesome! I have also found this on github that works amazingly well! https://github.com/mob-sakai/ParticleEffectForUGUI
My code for a simple noise based confetti effect is drifting towards a direction. Can anyone spot why? I can't see it.

But I agree with the other commenter: use a particle system. This package adapts particle systems to UI. It will be much more performant and easier to maintain.
