Implementing SUC animation as a graphic element in Unity UI menu.
I know how to animate graphic elements in menus using classical frame-by-frame animation. But I need to create a smoother 2D animation, using bones.
However cannot figure out how to implement it in the UI menu, it just keeps showing me the white rectangle of the Image component. I can see the animation outlines, but it does not render, and it is very small in the middle of the white rectangle.
I also have the prefab of the animated object with the bone and the sprite it animates. Where in the hierarchy of the menu should I place it? And what components should I add to it? I tried various combinations, but with no success.
It is both in the menu prefab view and during runtime.
Please, any advice?

I don't believe you can display a regular Sprite Renderer / bone rig in a UI Canvas.
I was afraid that was the case. Is there any other alternative I could use, if I have a lot of frames/long animation?
You can still attach sprites to Image components and rotate them in animations - just not with Sprite Renderers.
I've also heard tell of using a RenderTexture that records an object in the scene on a RawImage in a UI, but it's a general Unity topic rather than one specific to AC.
