Ray to polygons
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Ray to polygons

| Hi all. Looking for a bit of advice really. What I'm doing is casting a ray (using a point and direction) and I want to know the first polygon that the ray hits in the scene (thousands of polys). Do I: Create a list of all the polys that the ray intersects with and build like a z-list to find the nearest poly? OR Is there a simpler way? Many thanks |

| LinePick and PickedTriangle come immediately to mind unless I'm missing something egregiously obvious here. |

| After posting the request I do feel a bit stupid when I realised the obvious answer. I think i'm getting too wrapped up in code and it's swallowing me up :) Thanks. |
