The Space Editor Pack is an add-on for Unity which allows you to upload your content to Sinespace and contains all of the necessary components you will need for various content. You can find the Editor Pack versions on our Editor Pack page.
Once downloaded, open Unity.
In the top menu of Unity, click Assets / Import package / Custom package.
Select the Editor pack you have downloaded from the link from above. This will usually be in your PC's Downloads folder.
It will take a few minutes to unpack all the assets. When the Import Unity Package window pops up, click on 'All' at the bottom of the window, then click on 'Import'.
Note: Do not install the standard asset package as space package already has it.
With the editor pack now installed, you will see a new button called 'space' in the top menu.
click on Space / Install Editor Pack Settings to enable the editor pack settings.
In the top menu, click Sinespace -> Sign in...
Then in the Inspector window on the right log in with the username and password you created at sine.space (above). You might have to switch from the Services window to the Inspector window.
