An anisotropic probe is a preset to find connection in 16 different directions over the X & Y axis.
Anisotropic pathfinding is a popular approach to finding high-level plots, it made sense to have an hardcoded version as opposed to hand crafting 16 directional probes to the same effect
Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Settings | |
| Transform Direction | If enabled, the direction of the probe will be adjusted by the current probing point’ transform. If disabled, the direction is in world space. |
| Search Radius | |
| Search Radius Source | The type of value used for this probe’ search radius; either a Constant value or fetched from anAttribute
|
| Search Radius (Constant or Attribute) | Radius of the probe. Dynamic radiuses can be super expensive if they are different for each probe: search will use the greatest radius to sample to octree for this point. |
Contrary to
🝆 Direction, the anisotropic probe will always favor alignment over distance. Because of that, it often yields more ‘canon’ results with grid-aligned points.
