Intro: The main part of the project I’m currently working on is about traveling around little planets. For some calculations, we needed to know the distance between two objects standing on the planet, so, we had to do some research on how to find the spherical distance between two points. The “great-circle distance” formula required […]
Our previous moving sphere to sphere function works for when the moving sphere starts outside the static sphere sphere, but for when the moving sphere is inside the static sphere, it automatically says there was a collision. In the case we have a smaller moving sphere starting inside a bigger static sphere and we want […]
A moving sphere to a static sphere test is basically a slightly modified ray to sphere test. First, we expand the static sphere’s radius by the moving sphere’s radius. Then, we call our ray to sphere function, sending the normalized velocity vector as the ray’s direction. Then, we just need to check if the collision […]
In our previous ray to sphere test, we just checked if the ray collided with the sphere. Sometimes, however, we need to check the time value in which this collision happens. The test is similar, however, some things need to be added. The distance between a point ‘P’ on the very edge of the sphere […]
This function will allow us to check if a sphere is colliding with a plane. Our half space test helped us see if a point was in front of a plane, on a plane or behind a plane, so, we can base ourselves on that one and, after editing it a little, transform it into […]
