Hello Sanat,
So, I wanted to know if there is some way in OSG I can compute the shortest
distance between the boundaries of two objects.
Well, in OSG you have access to an approximated bounding sphere and
bounding box of your geometry (these may be very approximate though,
i.e. they may not closely match the actual geometry). You can easily
calculate the distance between two boxes or even more easily between two
spheres.
But I would look into using some physics engine for this anyways, even
if it offers more than what you need at present, because it's likely
you'll need what it offers eventually... It's really a matter of using
the best tool for the job, and physics/collision detection engines are
specialized at that sort of stuff.
Hope this helps,
J-S
