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 import the assets into the new project, if you encounter incompatibilities please let us know!
