Collision

by Devildrew · in Torque Game Engine · 07/27/2004 (5:25 am) · 2 replies

Does any one know the formula for a ray intersecting a cylinder?

I need to find it using the castRay function in my own renderobject class.

Thanks.

Have you tried checking online? I'm usually able to find that stuff pretty quickly off of google.

May I recommend "3D Game Engine Design" by David H. Eberly from Morgan Kaufmann press? There are explainations for every type of collision detection you could want....

PS - he doesn't give the "formula" specifically for a cylinder, but he has one for a capsule and explains how to adapt it for a cylinder.
