Object Movement with Spline Paths and AI Navigation

This update to our Unity SDK focuses on enhancing the way objects move within your scenes. With the introduction of spline-based paths and advanced AI navigation tools, developers can now create smoother, more intelligent, and dynamic movements for characters and objects alike.

We are excited to bring you two powerful features that redefine object movement in Unity: spline-based path creation and enhanced AI navigation. These additions provide greater precision, flexibility, and realism when animating or controlling objects in your projects.

Spline-Based Path Creation

The new spline functionality allows for the design of fluid and natural-looking movement paths. Key advantages include:

• Seamless Curves : Create smooth, customizable paths that mimic realistic motion patterns.

• Performance Optimization : Efficient algorithms ensure that spline calculations do not compromise frame rates, even in large-scale scenes.

• Versatile Integration : Combine splines with other systems, such as animations and physics, to achieve cohesive and lifelike interactions.

Enhanced AI Navigation

Complementing the spline tools, our updated AI navigation system introduces smarter and more responsive behaviors for NPCs and automated objects. Features include:

• Dynamic Pathfinding : Advanced algorithms enable real-time route calculation, adapting to complex environments effortlessly.

• Obstacle Avoidance : NPCs can now navigate around obstacles dynamically, ensuring smooth and believable movement.

Together, these features empower developers to craft immersive experiences where objects and characters move with precision and intelligence. Whether you're designing realistic character animations or creating dynamic environmental interactions, this update provides the tools you need to elevate your projects.
