Dear Forum,
some algorithm during a game yielded a matrix with x,y,and z values; these represent a force field into our actor must not go. I’m now wondering about the best way to convert this “height field” into a collision object.
the size of this matrix is at min 50x50.
Any sugestions?
with kind regards
Martin
Do you mean you have a point cloud of impenetrable points?
Yes and No, at the mpoment it is just the Matrix but it should turn into an impenetrable cloud
Hi rdb,
I have done some searching …
maybe the GeoMipTerrain (where You and Thomas excelled) could be adabted to cater for planes not parallel to x,y?
best regards
Martin
No, because of the way it works, it really has to work with a 2D heightfield image.
Perhaps you could create a collision sphere at each point. I don’t know if that would result in acceptable performance though.
Another idea, you could load your data into a metaball modeller, then export a low resolution mesh from that.
Bruteforce:matrix to height field Import heightfield Position the field ?
The Brute Force method ‘works’ but performance is no where near acceptable any other better ideas around ?
