Creating Your First Vortex

  1. Place a VortexTunnel actor in your level
  2. Select it and view the spline component in the viewport
  3. Add or move spline points to define your tunnel path
  4. Set a Vortex Mesh and assign a displacement Material Instance
  5. Adjust Mesh Spacing and Rotation Offset
  6. The tunnel generates and updates in real-time as you edit the spline
💡 Start with the examples: The plugin ships with pre-built example levels. Open one to see a fully configured tunnel before creating your own.
