Mesh visible to camera
Is there any way to find out if a mesh is visible on camera?

Thanks.

Ah actually nevermind, I've found the frustrum class.
Thanks all.

-EDIT: Is there anyway to check if the mesh is blocked by other meshes at all? Visible "to-the-eye".

Check with raycast?

Raycasting only works to one point, I need to find a way to see if ANY part of the mesh is visible and not obstructed by other meshes.

Would raycasting to corners of the object's bounding box work for your purposes? There's different levels of testing that you can use-the more accurately you test, the harder your performance will be hit.

I am interested too. In my case raycasting is not an option. My meshes are characers and have animation and rotations. And walls haven't physics.

Yeah I'll try that.
