Getting up and running with the Creator Toolkit takes less than 10 minutes — let’s get started!
The first thing you’ll need is to have Unity installed. You will need version 2021.3.21 to be able to test in your sandbox space. The minimum version that we support is 2021.3.8.
If you don’t yet have the Unity Hub installed, you will need to install it first. You can do so by following this link.

The easiest way to get started with Spatial is with a new Unity Project
**Click here to download the starter template.**
Unzip the archive and open the project from Unity Hub.
Once the project is opened you may see an update dialog. Click yes to update to the latest version of the Spatial Unity SDK.
Then open the “Environment.unity” scene:
Now you will need to authenticate with Spatial. Under the main menu bar, select “Spatial SDK/Account”. Follow steps outlined in the window.
Now you are ready to test this package directly in Spatial. Click the “Test” button in the main unity toolbar.
When this process is completed, the environment will be loaded directly into your spatial Sandbox.
When you are ready to show your space to the world, select your package in the Spatial editor window (press the gear icon in the toolbar), then press “Publish”.
The publishing process packs up your project’s source assets, then queues a build process to prepare your space for all of our supported platforms. This typically takes less than 30 minutes, but in times of high-demand, it could take a few hours.
