For both humanoid and non humanoid characters, Mercuna Ground Navigation is the pinnacle of pathfinding technology, and used alongside Mercuna 3D Navigation, allows for a full AI Navigation Solution to cover the needs of even the largest AAA production.
Other navigation solutions on the market designed for characters quickly disintegrate when used alongside vehicles and animals, as they fail to take into account their fundamental movement constraints.
Unlike characters, vehicles and animals can only change speed slowly and may have extremely limited turning rates. They require smooth, gently curving paths, optimised for their turning radius and acceleration capabilities, not the shortest, often sharply turning routes that traditional navigation systems focus on. In addition, the asymmetric shapes of vehicles and animals cannot be ignored when determining whether they can traverse narrow corridors and gaps.
