Dynamic Path System

Editable nodes that become a playable slope

GitHub→

Place nodes in the scene, remesh them into a smooth curve, and render a mesh you can stand on. That is the slope pipeline from Arctric Slopes.

A Path is a chain of Nodes you drag in the Scene view. Remesh densifies that polyline into a curve. Render stitches the curve into a triangle mesh using three segment types, so the slope stays cheap as you edit.

Segment types

Concave Up

A valley. Extra vertices along the dip so the mesh holds its shape.

Concave Down

A hill. A triangle fan from a center point under the peak.

Bridge

A flat span. A simple strip between the two edges.

How it was built

Unity (C#). PathEditor puts position handles on every node. RemeshedPath has Remesh and Clear. PathRenderer builds the mesh from the three segment types. Drop-in prefabs: Path, Node, Remeshed Path, and Path Renderer.

The hard parts

The mesh has to stay cheap while nodes move. Each span picks a segment type so the triangulation does not explode — a valley fans from the bottom, a hill from a center, a bridge stays a strip.
