Vault, Slide, Mantle: Building Brink's SMART System
The development of the SMART (Smooth Movement Across Random Terrain) system for the multiplayer first-person shooter Brink aimed to solve the common issue of player characters snagging on environmental geometry.
- Splash Damage developed the 'SMART' movement system for Brink to provide consistent, accessible traversal across diverse maps without requiring manual level-design work for every ledge or obstacle.
- The system utilizes the game's navigation mesh (navmesh) to pre-calculate reachability between areas, storing specific flags for vaulting, mantling, and low-ceiling traversal to assist both AI pathfinding and player movement.
- To optimize performance, the system moved away from the prototype's runtime collision traces—which could reach 8 traces per player per frame—to a BSP tree-based query system that searches for pre-defined reachability segments within a bounding box of 6x2.5 times the player's dimensions.
