Dynamic RayCast System - C# Jobs upgrade is available !

Hi, the system does not build acceleration structures. It would take a lot more memory and time to build the structure to the point that does not really make sense. So the system iterates the triangles but still it's really fast for what it is doing ! Some stuff is multithreaded and it does use Jobs system !

If you have more questions let me know
Cheers

 

Does this system just have a simple Raycast against a SkinnedMeshRenderer method, if so does it need a lot of setting up per object, and can that setup be done from script. I am just needing a single raycast per frame to an animated skinmesh and it needs to work on Mobile as well.

 

Hi,

1 The system supports simple raycast against skinned mesh yes

2. Setup is simple, you add a component and drag and drop references to the skinned renderer and the root of the object ( which may be the same game object ) You can also call a method to do the setup from your script

3. It works on mobile devices yes, it's just your mesh poly count should be reasonable ( it has it's own LOD system though ) !

4. Supports Jobs+Burst and IL2CPP

 

Thanks for that, how does it compare speed wise to Super Raycaster, the mesh only has 4000 vertices and 6100 tris. I was using Super Raycast but it seems to have issues and not getting any response from the author so looking for an alternative.

 

I haven't touch Super Raycast !
4000 verts is nothing for Desktop machine and i did test raycasts on such mesh on an old mobile device a long ago, so it should work... even better, you can load a low poly mesh to use for raycast in the LOD slot of the entry in editor or from script... you loose a little bit of precision but it will boost performance !

If you want give it a try and if it doesn't do the job for you, you can ask for refund !
