alpha builds , we're trying to release 3.5 beta builds every other week to ensure that new features can be tested, bugs can be reported and bugfixes can be validated. This adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. We're getting closer to the Godot 3.5

Mainly I focused on generating grass that bends in the wind and some fern like plants, but what comes next is usable for all kind of meshes. First off: I learned a lot about Unity’s build in batching system. Static batching : combines static (not moving) GameObjects into big Meshes, and renders them in a faster way.

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. It is possible to either import a scene as a single file, or to split it into multiple instantiated subscenes, keep materials, meshes and animations external, etc.
