Navigation meshes form the basis of nearly all modern games' navigation systems. This talk will provide a detailed overview of the process of automatically generating a navigation mesh, and then using it for pathfinding.
Takeaway
Attendees will learn the basic steps involved in navigation mesh generation, starting with arbitrary game level geometry and ending with a navigation mesh ready to be queried. They will also learn how to apply standard pathfinding algorithms to navigation meshes.
Intended Audience
This will be a technically dense talk, and will not bear on game or level design. AI and engine programmers will benefit most. A basic knowledge of the A* search algorithm will be assumed.
