Workflow Example
In this example, we will transfer our terrain into Unity. We will use the sample Canyon file that is included with World Creator. You can apply the same steps to any other project created with World Creator.

Sync into Unity
Under Window/World Creator Bridge, open the Bridge dialog window.
Choose the appropriate Material Type based on your project's render pipeline. For our case, as we are using the Built-In RP, we need to configure it to Standard.
Once you press the Synchronize button, the terrain will be loaded into the scene.
