- Plane equation
- The canonical equation for a plane in 3D is :
- a * x + b * y + c * z + d = 0
- where (a, b, c, d) are 4 real numbers. The plane is the set of points (x, y, z) verifying that equation.
- The four floats in one of a PLEA's packages are exactly the (a, b, c, d) of the above definition.
- In that case, the first package of the above example defines the plane (0 * x + 0 * y + 1 * z + 612 = 0), i.e., the vertical plane z = -612.
Planes are used for environment culling and collision detection.
