Does anyone know how to create a polygon if given a plane and a bounding box. I have one solution, but it doesn''t work in all cases. -Icarus

Come on, someone must know.

Why not create a foursided polygon in the plane and then enlarge it until the bounding box is completely inside. Then if you need the bounding box to surround the polygon you can clip your foursided polygon to the sides of the box.

um.. clip the plane to the bounding box.

Just thought of another way...

You could clip the bounding box to the plane, then you can assemble the polygon from the edges that were clipped.

The simplest way to do this:

1. Create a large polygon (as large as your limits) in the plane
2. Clip the polygon to all sides (planes) of the bounding box

You can check the Quake utils source for a great algorithm, I think it''s called something like CreateBrushFaces in QBSP.

Thanks everyone!
