AmmoRaycast Operator - creating a simple 3D menu UI - Tutorial
With the latest update we got a total rewrite of the cables physics engine that we will use to cast rays and build a simple, animated 3D menu UI.
We'll cover the operators - AmmoRaycast and AmmoWorld for our main setup and use AmmoBody operators as simple buttons.
At the end we will also look at how to use an imported GLTF Scene and calculate a correct hitbox for it to get a nice interactive butto
We hope this gets you started with the new physics engine basics and you'll follow along our future tutorials as we dive deeper into first person camera setups, walking in virtual spaces, collision physics and more!
