  3. // This code snippet allows you to create an axis aligned bounding volume tree for a triangle mesh so that you can do
  4. // high-speed raycasting.
  5. //
  6. // There are much better implementations of this available on the internet. In particular I recommend that you use
  7. // OPCODE written by Pierre Terdiman.
  8. // @see: http://www.codercorner.com/Opcode.htm
  9. //
  10. // OPCODE does a whole lot more than just raycasting, and is a rather significant amount of source code.
  11. //
  12. // I am providing this code snippet for the use case where you *only* want to do quick and dirty optimized raycasting.
  13. // I have not done performance testing between this version and OPCODE; so I don't know how much slower it is. However,
  14. // anytime you switch to using a spatial data structure for raycasting, you increase your performance by orders and orders
  15. // of magnitude; so this implementation should work fine for simple tools and utilities.
  16. //
  17. // It also serves as a nice sample for people who are trying to learn the algorithm of how to implement AABB trees.
  18. // AABB = Axis Aligned Bounding Volume trees.
