Could someone help me figure out how to solve this. I have a ray and a square in the same plane and I need to find out when the ray 'punches' the square. Thanks Ups, I made a mistake in the tile and I can't fix it. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Calin (edited August 27, 2007).] |

I think dartsman would know how to do this. But I could take a stab at it.. Is the ray defined by two points or one point and angles? What are you trying to do with these? Could this be simplified with a ray-sphere collision (i.e. 3d distance formula)?

Would this faq be of service? It doesn't answer your exact question, but the answer to question 1.03 looks like it has some useful hints. --clint |

Here are a couple links for you  Ray-Sphere intersection algorithms: http://www.siggraph.org/education/materials/HyperGraph/raytrace/rtinter1.htm http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/fell/CSU540/programs/RayTracingFormulas.htm ------------------ |
