hello everyone! I'm doing in a job involing development a 3D MMOG. What the current main technology to do collison detection on the 3D MMOG server side? I tried use elevation data to collison detection. But it's ineffiency and diffcult to get elevation data from 3ds scene. any comments and advices are appeciated.

I do not believe this is the forum for this question. Probably wanna take it ot the Game programming thread
- Trust no one -
Guild wars seems to just pick up the terrain height underneath you and put you there. The collision isn't fantastic, but it does the job.

Similarly, a ray cast from underneath the feets.

As for inneficiency, bilinear interpolation on heightmap (elevation data) is very efficient.

Else, well, anything goes.

Everything is better with Metal.
