Discrepancy between showBoundingBox and getHierarchyBoundingVectors

I have an animated mesh and it seems like the animation is messing with the bounding box calculation.
When I create a bounding box using getHierarchyBoundingVectors’, the output min/max values translates into a much larger box than what showBoundingBox is showing.

The animated properties are position, rotationQuaternion and visibility. It seems the rotation animation is what messes things up.

I got a workaround going where I create dummy TransformNodes using the min/max as positions and parent them to the animated mesh before the animation gets applied. That way I can get the bounding box by taking the absolute position of these nodes once the animation is applied.

I wonder if there is a proper way do deal with it?

It would be easier to properly explain (and find a better solution) with a Playground.
That said, BVH is an approximation ontop of another approximation. Adding a rotation and then computing an AABB is also an approximation. It’s a tradeoff between fast computation and return on investment of CPU cycles. Splitting a hierarchy can help having smaller volumes but you have more volumes to check. Can you explain your use case here?

Alright.

I am using the bounding box of a mesh to zoom in on it to the correct extent, using FramingBehavior.zoomOnBoundingInfo.
