Let's say I'm colliding a sphere against a terrain or level mesh. I'm interested in finding all triangles such that the distance to the closest point on the triangle from the sphere's center is less than the radius of the sphere.
The math is no problem, but I'm brand new to Irrlicht, and to 3D game programming, so I'm wondering how this can be done in an optimized way. Does Irrlicht have built-in functionality for finding triangles near a certain point, and if not, how would I integrate my own code?
currently the traingle selector's getTriangles does not work with spheres. I'd recommend copying and modifying the code for ITriangleSelector::getTriangles(..., AABB), then submitting it as a patch for the triangle selector so we can all use it
