geometry3Sharp

Open-Source (Boost-license) C# library for geometric computing.

geometry3Sharp only uses C# language features available in .NET 3.5, so it works with the Mono C# runtime used in Unity 5.x (NOTE: you must configure Unity for this to work, see note at bottom of this file).

Currently there is a small amount of unsafe code, however this code is only used in the OBJ reader and a few fast-buffer-copy routines, which can be deleted if you need a safe version (eg for Unity web player).

Some portions of the code are ported from the WildMagic5 C++ library, developed by David Eberly at Geometric Tools. WildMagic5 is distributed under the Boost license as well, available here. Any errors in code marked as ported from WildMagic5 are most certainly ours!

Unity Interop

geometry3Sharp supports transparent conversion with Unity types. To enable this, define G3_USING_UNITY in your Unity project, by adding this string to the Scripting Define Symbols box in the Player Settings.

Once enabled, code like this will work transparently:

Vector3 unityVec;
Vector3f g3Vec;
unityVec = g3vec;
g3vec = unityVec;

float->double types will work transparently, while double->float will require an explicit cast:

Vector3d g3vecd;
g3vecd = gameObject.transform.position;
gameObject.transform.position = (Vector3)g3vecd;

This will work for Vector2, Vector3, Quaterion, Ray, Color, and Bounds (w/ AxisAlignedBox3f) Note that these conversions will not work for equations, so to add a Vector3f and a Vector3, you will need to explicitly cast one to the other.
