How about at a lower level, perform a sort of some sort and isolate polygons that "face" each other, put these polygons into an array, and then only perform intersection checks on the polygons in these arrays? Regards, Ampere On May 2, 2004 12:41 pm, Erik Hofman wrote: > There might be one step

Hi ! If u rememember me, I`m the guy who wants to use Flight Gear for his Master thesis and the virtual flying fitness machine. :) I need for my thesis a working and powerful network system in flight gear. This may go so far that you can transfer a video and audio stream with it. So you could s
