Moving capsule and ball intersection?

Torsten · 2015-02-12T18:54:32

How do i calculate the time / intersection point for a moving ball against a moving capsule? I know using the minkowski sum, i can shrink down the moving ball (which forms a capsule) to a line segment and add the balls radius to the other shape. This method will work fine for moving against static, but not if both are moving... Any one an idea? Thanks, Final

Last question hopefully:

What is the minkowski difference between a capsule and a ball ?

The point set of every point in the ball subtracted from every point in the capsule, same as every other minkowski difference.

Your question suggests some misunderstanding of the concept perhaps? What sort of answer were you looking for?
