Recast Navigation
Navigation-mesh Toolset for Games
|
Recast Navigation is divided into multiple modules, each contained in its own folder:
Recast/
- Navmesh generationDetour/
- Runtime loading of navmesh data, pathfinding, navmesh queriesDetourTileCache/
- Navmesh streaming. Useful for large levels and open-world gamesDetourCrowd/
- Agent movement, collision avoidance, and crowd simulationDebugUtils/
- API for drawing debug visualizations of navigation data and behaviorTests/
- Unit testsRecastDemo/
- Standalone, comprehensive demo app showcasing all aspects of Recast & Detour's functionalityCheck out BuildingAndIntegrating.md for information on how to build the comprehensive RecastDemo project, as well as guidance on integrating Recast & Detour into your own project.
If you are new to Recast & Detour, check out Sample_SoloMesh.cpp in RecastDemo to get started with building navmeshes and NavMeshTesterTool.cpp for building paths with Detour.
Recast constructs a navmesh through a multi-step mesh rasterization process.
You can use Recast to build a single navmesh, or a tiled navmesh. Single meshes are suitable for many simple, static cases and are easy to work with. Tiled navmeshes are more complex to work with but better support larger, more dynamic environments. Tiled meshes enable advance Detour features like re-baking, heirarchical path-planning, and navmesh data-streaming.
