RE: [Algorithms] finding an optimal OBB

[Akbar A. <sye...@ea...>]

i guess you could consider this a "late" reply since it's been a few hours,
and the list mail was pretty high today....
but just in case somebody said it.
get the book. he is full of knowledge and it will be a good reference as
well.
he knows what he is talking about :)


peace.

Are you referring to his new book, "3D Game Engine Design: A Practical
Approach to Real-Time Computer Graphics" ??  I was seriously thinking about
picking that one up...

Your savior and mine, magic source code.

Thank you, Dave E. My Dave E. book is on its way, and am looking forward to
it.

The math here (Ron L. would have to correct me if I were wrong about this)
is better / more correct than most on-line tutorials, papers and algorithms.
