Moving raycast off main thread

[tlaukkan]

Hi, also need intersections for large meshes and been considering writing implementation with golang, rust or c++. Did you start anything and do you want to collaborate on this?

Some discussion here:

Octrees to find ray intersections in large static meshes

I am not sure if this is already implemented under the hood but I decided to ask away anyway. My use case is large environments and camera & AI agent collision detection. Doing ray intersects on large mesh is quite slow and perhaps applying octree on triangle level could give one or two orders of magnitude performance boost. This would work by placing mesh triangles in octree and find matching triangles by ray bounding box in mesh local coordinates. Then you could still move the mesh around fr…

Kind regards,
