The Spine Animation Story at Logic Simplified

Logic Simplified

Through animation tools and code, each of the parts can be moved independently and the character animated. Each image part was converted to mesh.

Mircosoft Game Dev

The new NavigationServer adds support for obstacle avoidance using the RVO2 library, and navigation meshes can now be baked at runtime. We recommend using the Time singleton as much as possible so that your code will be forward compatible with 4.0. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view. Label3D and TextMesh.
