A small mind dump: - unify parameters for intersection to match the input type (e.g. Rayd intersection using float for t0,t1 intersection point) - template-version of epsilons (currently all epsilons are float) - gmtl::make for precision casts (e.g . - namespace collision with boost::static_assert (not gmtl's problem) - meta-programming optimizations The main point however is to have a bit more flexibility in terms of driving development. But this requires at least someone to maintain the trunk and managing releases/pull requests. I could spare some extra cycles to do at least the trunk maintenance as long as I can synchronize with the main users (juggler). > > Personally I use the bullet physics math library (Sony vector math > lib) these days... Nice SSE support That's a thing (the SSE) better left to the compiler in my experience. Due to the clean meta-programming friendly structure GMTL is really efficient when compiled with AVX. Most assignments are collapsed to mov ops and even matrix initializations (filling with zeros and filling the diagonal with 1 is collapsed to a single constant load. I was really surprised how fast it is. I've compared this with some handwritten code, and usually the gmtl-based code won the compiler/optimizer race. Anyways, thanks for the advice, but I like gmtl because it supports bounding volumes and generic NxM math.
