Unity 2018.1 and 2018.2 support is available in Editor Pack version 14 onwards, and is generally robust. Unity 2018.3 support is also available in Editor Pack 14, but is considered experimental, and bug reports are appreciated.


Importing Existing Content

Existing assets may incorporate incompatibilities in dependent assets, such as Unity's Post Stack V2 (which we bundle the Sinespace compatible version in our package, ditto Cinemachine.) which can cause conflicts. To import existing content, we recommend creating a blank project, and copy the assets into the new project, if you encounter incompatibilities please let us know!
