Hey guys, Is there a better way to figure out the smallest bounding box than rotating the geometry and testing the bounding box again? Has anyone ever tried to generate an oriented/aligned bounding box from frozen geo that's at an arbitrary angle? I guess another potential way is to sample three axes of circles of XX raycasts and sorting by the ray hit lengths. Longest of each circle would presumably give a kind of angle estimation as to how to orient the bounding box. Cheers, -- Alan
