A production-oriented ledge detection and traversal framework for Unity, designed to work with minimal setup while handling complex geometry and supporting IK-driven animation workflows.This asset is render pipeline independent as it at its core it only consists of scripts and code architecture.However, for the demo scenes to render properly you might have to use the built in material conversion tool to upgrade to URP since the demo scenes are made with the built in render pipeline.Also, the example character prefab is using the new Input System for input reading.Our Ledge Detection and Navigation System is a powerful and flexible solution for detecting ledges and smoothly aligning player characters during traversal.It supports complex geometries, including inward and outward turns, inclines, and uneven surfaces.QuickStart Guide | Documentation | Tutorials | DiscordDesigned with compatibility and extensibility in mind, the system gives developers full freedom to integrate and customize the mechanics to fit their project and animation workflow.The system is genre-independent and can be integrated into any 3D game, from platformers and action-adventure titles to stylized or realistic projects.The system calculates multiple positions and directional data points along ledges, making it easy to implement advanced animation IK and polished traversal animations.With minimal setup required, level designers can focus entirely on building environments, simply assign the appropriate layer to your level geometry, and the system handles the rest automatically.LicensesAsset uses Universal Animation Library character model and animationsUsed under: CC0 1.0 Universal (Public Domain Dedication)Asset uses TextMesh Pro (Liberation Sans font under the SIL Open FontLicense, EmojiOne sprites under their own attribution terms) as bundled byUnity Technologies; see `Third-Party Notices.txt` for details.Asset uses the DebugBoxCast script by Game Dev Box under the MIT License;see `Third-Party Notices.txt` in this folder for details.Features:Advanced ledge detection and navigation systemSupports complex ledge geometry:Inward and outward turnsInclines and declinesUneven and irregular surfacesBraced and Free hanging positionsDetailed ledge data calculation:Hand IK target positionsLeft and right traversal directionsSurface normals and orientation dataMultiple positional reference points for animation systemsModular traversal architecture:Movement behaviors are isolated into independent modulesEasily add, remove, or create custom traversal mechanicsDesigned for extensibility and customizationUtility systems included:Helper methods and utility classes for traversal implementationSimplified movement and positioning workflowsDebug visualizationMinimal setup workflow:Layer-based detection systemEasy integration into existing projectsDesigner-friendly environment setupAnimation-ready framework:Built to support animation IK workflowsCompatible with custom animation systemsDocumentation and support:Full online documentation includedExample scenes and sample setup providedTutorial videos includedDiscord community supportDocumentation link: https://docs.upstairs.studio/docs/introDocumentation is written with assitance from AI agents.Some of the images and art work for the store material (Icon, cover photos, etc.) are enhanced with AI.
