Kynapse for VR-Forces is a powerful and flexible software toolkit for adding advanced artificial intelligence (AI) behaviors to VR-Forces’ entities. Using Kynapse, from Autodesk Games Technology Group, VR-Forces’ entities can perceive the world; decide which path to take; determine where to hide; identify where threats might be hiding; and navigate a path to their destination—all while avoiding collisions with terrain and other entities. Kynapse for VR-Forces includes the Kynapse AI engine, Kynapse PathData generator, and the complete source code to the B-HAVE Module for VR-Forces.
B-HAVE Yourself
The B-HAVE Module for VR-Forces, jointly developed by MÄK and Autodesk Games Technology Group, provides out-of-the-box AI behaviors for VR-Forces entities. Kynapse for VR-Forces allows you to go beyond the functionality built into B-HAVE, and lets you take full advantage of the Kynapse AI Toolkit. You can extend B-HAVE, by starting with the included source code, or integrate Kynapse AI functionality directly into your VR-Forces-based simulation application.
Make your own Decisions
The brain within intelligent entities performs thinking logic to make decisions. You can control that logic using Kynapse for VR-Forces. Kynapse provides C, C++ and Lua interfaces to the Kynapse brain functions. Multiple heuristic modes, 3D topology tests, and dynamic avoidance algorithms allow you to dynamically choose the next course of action. Higher level actions, called agents, such as wander, follow, hide, and shoot are provided to simplify and speed up your development.
Using the B-HAVE source code, you can integrate your agents into the VR-Forces scenarios so that your agents respond to tasks carried out by simulation entities. Kynapse’s dynamic team composition and teammate communication mechanism allow you to coordinate behaviors with other entities to perform group tasks like formation maneuvers, room clearing or customized crowd behaviors.
