The Demo Scene projects VortexIntegrationDemoProject shows the full power of Vortex integration in Unity.

The projects consists of the two Unity scenes. MobileCraneScene shows a crane and a transport truck than can interact together. TerrainDemo show a sports car that can be driven on a Unity Terrain. The scenes are located in the Assets/Scenes folder.

Follow the instruction in https://cm-labs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VSD2311/pages/394041266/Vortex+Studio+Demo+Scene+package#How-to-use-the-Unity-demo-projects to open up the Vortex Integration Demo Project.
