Does the navmesh system use a triangulation algorithm?

If so, is it possible to use it outside the navigation system?

 

You can use NavMesh.CalculateTriangulation and then probably write this away into an obj file (you might need a plugin for the latter part).

 

Nice! Unfortunately I was hoping to use it outside of a NavMesh, and I'm pretty sure there's no way to inject a mesh as a navmesh either. I'll take a look at the SVG Importer package and see if it has a more generic triangulation utility.

 

You are correct, there is currently no way to inject a mesh into the navmesh.

 

Anyone know if the 'pathfinding' logic on a navmesh is exposed? Wondering if I could adapt it for my own mesh.

 

Nope, that's blackboxed unfortunately.

 

Dang it.
I'll have to create / find a new solution. I'd like to have support multiple navmeshes (chunks, prefabs) that can easily work with each other, moving navmeshes, and runtime modifications.

 

Spent the day playing with an excellent library called Poly2Tri is available on GitHub. It is also included in the ProBuilder package.
