Step 1.Register a user account

You can register for a sinespace account on our website:sine.space

You can sign up on sine.space to become a regular sinespace member, or, when signing up, you can check the 'Creator' box to join our creator community who make amazing things for use in sinespace!

Make sure to use your real email as you will need to verify the email address (sometimes the verification link goes to spam).

Step 2.Install Unity Editor

See Unity Installation for the current version and installation walkthrough. Please note: we use a specific version (or range of versions) of the Unity editor, see the Unity Installation page for more details. Other versions may not work.

Note for Mac/Linux Users

You also need to have Mono installed on OSX for the editor pack to work.

For OSX that is available here: mono-project.com/download

Some assistance for Linux users

Step 3.Download and install the Space Editor Pack

You will only need to download the Space Editor Pack if you want to create items in Unity for use in sinespace. You can find the stable Editor Pack releases here, and find the Experimental Packs here.

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 Download Editor Pack. 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.

Step 4.Enable Editor Pack Settings
