Quantization is the key to making dynamic NavMesh updates efficient in Unity. By snapping the NavMesh surface to a grid instead of rebuilding on every tiny movement, you avoid unnecessary updates and keep performance steady. In this video, you’ll learn exactly how quantization works, see it in action with clear code examples, and discover how it can benefit large worlds or voxel-based environments where frequent NavMesh rebuilds would normally be too costly.
