It also helps simulate spatial reasoning, team coordination, and delivers efficient production tools that help streamline game creation.

• Real-time 3D pathfinding—Production-proven algorithms for in-game characters to find their way around large 3D dynamic environments in an intelligent manner
• Path data generation—Automated tools help teams validate their results and generate AI data for their levels without hand tagging
• 3D spatial awareness—In-game characters can position themselves intelligently in dynamic environments at runtime
• Team coordination—Characters in games with multiple characters can communicate with each other and make group decisions
