well… is there some way to make ray hit tests? I am not talking about setting up an object with an associated ray-sensor within blender.
All I want to do is to send a ray through a scene from within a normal python script and get eventual hits with objects and materials as well as a vector to where they occured.
I am trying to implement something like a CFD code within blender for testing purposes, and whether its feasible or not… They nice thing in blender is its easy handling of 3D-models compared with most CFD packages. But I don’t want to reenvent the wheel all by myself…
