This adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. Following on from the addition of OccluderShapeSphere in 3.4 , lawnjelly now brings us a more adaptable and easy way to add basic occlusion culling in the form of the OccluderShapePolygon. back in 2020!

For more advanced use cases, you can use TextMesh to generate 3D meshes from font glyphs, so you can add WordArt to your scenes ;). Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view.

Last but not least, lightmaps baking is now done using the GPU to speed up the process significantly. Several new optimization techniques are also at your disposal, such as occlusion culling , automatic mesh LOD , and manual HLOD using visibility ranges , made possible by Joan Fons ( JFonS ), and Juan. has been added by Je06jm.

Just set up the probe bounds and do a fast pre-bake of static objects. Still, this workflow is easy and efficient as 3D objects get a second set of UVs generated on import, and baking works with instantiated meshes, scenes and even GridMaps. Both indirect light and voxel reflections are provided by this technique.
