Loving your channel! Thanks for the great videos and please do keep them coming, definitely of the best out there! All the best to your endeavours and keep well, looking forward to your next tutorials.
Great video! Is there any chance you could do a 3D version of this? Ideally I'd want the volume and centre of mass of the intersection of two 3D collision shapes / meshes. I'm very much a beginner and have no idea if this approach is feasible performance-wise or even necessary for my project idea. Maybe I'll come across a more elegant solution but I'll give the 3D "clip_polygon()" function a go. I had no idea it even existed and it might just be what I needed.
For the center of mass you can easily get the collision points between the area and by computing the average position it'll give you the center. I made a blogpost about that: mreliptik.github.io/godot-area-collision/ Concerning the volume, it might be a bit harder. I'm not sure if Godot as built in functions for that
@@mrelipteach Thanks! I fiddled around with it some more and I think approximating the volume by casting out rays in a grid pattern might be good enough for what I need. One of the shapes is always a specific cylinder so I'm casting rays radially from its centre axis and calculating the volume of a truncated pyramid basically. Wish me luck this works out :D
Hi, is it possible to get the closest point from polygon to polygon? Something kinda similar to the "segment to segment" that you've shown, but both are polygons instead? Or maybe even something like point to polygon at least? I don't see a particular function for this on the docs. Thanks in advance!
No I don't think there is something like that. You can make your own, by going through the polygon points and check using get_closet_point_to_segment or get_closest_points_between_segments
But it works with other operations? Make sure both polygon points are in the same transform, and make sure the operation you're trying to do makes sens. If both polygon are not overlapping for example, it won't do what you expect of course
