    If you mean a navmesh that wraps around a sphere - having a varying up-vector: no, it is not supported - nor is it planned. The navmesh supports only plane-parallel worlds

    If you have a big sphere where the curvature is small it's possible to bake a navmesh for a local section on that sphere.

    Hi, I was looking at this during the 5.6 beta. Definitely possible... see my video... I just sprinkled A Lot of nav mesh links at the seams with a prefab placer (Procore's QuickBrush I believe...)



    Even had AI running all over the place with Behavior Designer...
