using a 3d character in 2d

Hello,

is it possible to use unity 2d with sprite background with a 3d character like robot, and have scaling effect?

You can't use "Unity 2D" mode with 3D characters, because the SortingMap is for sprites only.  However, you have other options:

• Set your "Moving and turning" property in your Settings Manager to "World Space" - this 2D mode will cause characters (sprites and models) to move in World Space, rather than scaling for a depth effect.  
• Set your "Camera perspective" to 2.5D.  This is the recommended workflow for 2.5D games (3D characters on 2D backgrounds) - this video tutorial covers the whole process.
