Bake a NavMesh Area Around the Player - Runtime Baking Part 2 | AI Series Part 14

Learn how to bake a NavMesh on a small portion of your level. This allows much faster baking of NavMeshes on large procedural worlds, or on very large worlds. We do this by specifying a volume around the player and use the NavMeshBuilder class to collect the relevant sources and update a registered NavMeshData.

If you are taking this concept and applying it to your large scale game, check out the next video: https://youtu.be/bCC5pqNT000 where we look at optimization techniques to minimize CPU time when baking the NavMesh.
