Bounding volume for polyhedra

Post by saravanan »

Hi,

We want to create a bounding volume for torus, such that the gap in the center of torus must be preserved. We are not considering Triangle mesh bounding volume, as there are many torus present in the scene.
The application requires that other geometric objects, while colliding with the torus can be made to pass through the gap.

Is a bounding volume hierarchy of box or spheres supported for collision detection. Like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFd9BIcpHX4

Is there any other way?. If BVH is possible, please suggest us how to implement it.

Thanks
