collision detection in vtk?

[Goodwin Lawlor]

Jan,

I haven't tried this yet (I'm about to) but you can export a model from vtk 
to OpenInventor 2.0 format (vtkIVWriter) then use D. Manowitz code to 
convert this to Vcollide format ( cf. 
http://web.mit.edu/manowitz/www/ivcollide.tar.Z ). It's a work-around, I 
know, and may not be useful for a stand-alone app, but at least his c++ 
would be a start on implementing something for vtk. BTW, I'd be interested 
in any other suggestions you get!

Hope this helps,

Goodwin

dear vtk users,
in our application, we need a fast collision detection method between two
(or maybe more) actors.

has anybody written fast collision detection routines? or has anybody 
ported
available libraries like RAPID or VCOLLIDE to vtk?

any hints are greatly appreciated
