    Hi,

    today I played around with Unitys pathfinding feature and was surprised, how different agents avoid each other.

    Does Unity use the RVO algorithm for local object avoidance?

    Best regards,

    Josef

    Seems to be a difficult question :) Maybe the abbreviation RVO is not very common...

    What I mean is: which algorithm does Unity use for local avoidance? The pathfinding code seems to make agents avoid each other.

    I know it has been too long since you asked this question, but yes, unity does use RVO.
