btManifoldPoint::getDistance() penetration question

Post by papaonn »

Happy New Year guys,

Sorry that I have a simple question regarding btManifoldPoint::getDistance(), from what i know is that if the distance is less than 0, the penetration happens.
My question now is that, how do i determine which direction of distance is it giving?

For e.g,

I have a point, and with a triangle, how do i determine which direction of penetration does this getDistance() tells me?


Thank you so much!
