i am not sure to poste this or nor... but i think the following page could help some people having questions to math and distance related stuff.

Distance from a point to a rectangle (3D).
Wm3DistVector3Rectangle3.cpp , Wm3DistVector3Rectangle3.h

Distance from a point to a triangle (3D).
Wm3DistVector3Triangle3.cpp , Wm3DistVector3Triangle3.h

A triangle 3D

A rectangle 3D

Mmmm... wierd!!

Moreover, this is not a C/C++ forum

I hate C, it is so complex, Whatever ASM is much more easy and powerful

ok... once again i only thought it would be a helpfull link with some infos about how to get disctance between any kind of objects and some other stuff... but since get once again the answer that this isnt a c/c++ forum i will stop from now to poste anything in this section!

In my eyes i find it really sad that people are blame me about posting c/c++ stuff that could be a bit readable for some guys... but then i have to read that ASM should be more easy? I think C/C++ is more readable for a lot people instead any pure ASM stuff...

so no more comments from my side about whats going on here! I am out here!

@va!n,

This one you went the right way to show a link to a huge amount of information. Even if it is c coding, those who can understand, translate, use it will process.

Others don't have a gun over the head to go there.

You should continue, from time to time, litterature you discover. Just a link to is good.

That's true that this is not a C/C++ forum, but it is posted in "Off Topic" and I'm sure more people are interested in good C/C++ links, than for example in Hasselhoff pictures.

AND... you can always convert the C/C++ code to PB! *lol*

No, no, va!n should do it, he begans this topic, and that would be the right way to help the PB community:
to convert other code to PB, but not to show C/C++ codes.

I agree with techjunkie, and this thread is even MORE relevant to programming than this: viewtopic.php?t=16866&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
whatever i dont care. But if one should run by a very interesting source, no matter what language, i think it is ok to post it here.

Hey MrVa!n!
What a terrific compilation!

Bookmarked

Thank you!

The geometric tools website was already added to the ressource links on PureArea.net some time ago. Because I found it useful, when I got the link from german forum...
