Its a neat tool you're describing. It'd allow you to run a cartoon figure into a door and have it auto splat for you or a heap of other uses.
However, apart from manually as you said, I cant think how to do this in AC3D or in a bunch of other much more expensive programs.  |
Could you create an algorithm which would follow this pattern?:
1. Define object which will be collided
2. Define object to be collided with
3. Identify vertices closest to object to be collided with
4. Identify surfaces of TBCW object closest to immediate path of vertices
5. Move vertices in uniform direction until foremost vertices occupies same space as collided surface
6. Identify next vertices back
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 as needed
Could this possibly lessen the workload a bit or work at all?
