See Kynapse in Action - New!
This introductory video to Autodesk® Kynapse® middleware illustrates three key capabilities: spatial awareness, 3D pathfinding and team coordination.

10,000-Character Crowd
Watch Kynapse handle 10,000 characters wandering over a large terrain that includes two villages. Note that Kynapse is running on a separate thread.

Dynamic 3D Pathfinding
Watch as a character wanders through a terrain with hundreds of dynamic crates (very complex conditions for pathfinding). Dynamic avoidance alone would not solve such complex pathfinding.

1,000-Character Crowd with 2,500 Dynamic Crates
Watch as 1,000 characters navigate in a terrain with 2,500 dynamic crates using only dynamic avoidance to find their way. Note that dynamic avoidance is running on a separate thread.

Automatic PathData Generator into Unreal Engine
See how the Kynapse automatic AI data generation functionality has been completely integrated within the Unreal® Engine 3.

Implementation of a Crowd Using Unreal Editor
Kynapse can be used to make crowd creation in Unreal a simple, straightforward process. In this video see how you can make a crowd with just a few clicks in the Unreal® Engine 3 editor.

Implementation of a Patrol Using Kismet
This video illustrates how the use of Kynapse within Kismet, the graphical scripting language of Unreal® Engine 3, is completely transparent.

Interactive Demos
To view the following interactive demos, download and then install the file using the provided setup wizard.

Large Crowd
In this interactive demo you'll see 1,000 characters wander in a city. The Kynapse AI enables them to avoid each other and obstacles dynamically positioned, as well as run away from explosions you trigger.

New York
In this large city environment, data is streamed at runtime to make sure the world is always alive around you. Wherever you go in the city, you will see that pedestrians and cars follow traffic rules.

Dynamic 3D Topology Analysis
As you move in this interactive environment, key 3D topological zones are computed in real time.

Team Hide
In this demo, 50 characters locate and share hiding positions. Wherever you go, they identify and move into hiding spots. Rather than all going to the same hiding spot, they split the interesting hiding places among them.

Bodyguards
In this interactive demo you play a VIP. Wherever you go, three bodyguards identify threatening zones. They then coordinate to position themselves between you and the threats you will encounter.

Hide and Shoot
Wherever you go in this runtime demo, three soldiers identify positions from which they can shoot at you without being exposed. They coordinate and split the hiding and shooting positions among themselves to maximize the threat to you.

Dynamic Pathfinding
In this interactive demo you'll see three characters with different physical capabilities (walk, push, jump) navigate in a complex, 3D terrain with dynamic objects (crates, bridge, and elevator).
