+construction toolset for games.
+
+@itemize
+@item It is automatic, which means that you can throw any level geometry
+      at it and you will get robust mesh out.
+@item It is fast which means swift turnaround times for level designers.
+@item It is open source so it comes with full source and you can
+      customize it to your heart's content.
+@end itemize
+
+The Recast process starts with constructing a voxel mold from a level
+geometry and then casting a navigation mesh over it.  The process
+consists of three steps, building the voxel mold, partitioning the mold
+into simple regions, peeling off the regions as simple polygons.
+
+Recast is accompanied with Detour, path-finding and spatial reasoning
+toolkit.  You can use any navigation mesh with Detour, but of course the
+data generated with Recast fits perfectly.
+
+Detour offers simple static navigation mesh which is suitable for many
+simple cases, as well as tiled navigation mesh which allows you to plug
+in and out pieces of the mesh.  The tiled mesh allows you to create
+systems where you stream new navigation data in and out as the player
+progresses the level, or you may regenerate tiles as the world changes.")
