Hey guys,
I have been trying to figure out if it is possible, or if anyone has already written a script that can determine the intersection point between a straight line (2 points) and a face, either marking the point somewhere along the line, or on the face itself.
I have seen the Koshigaya intersecting poly script, and I have also checked out the built in intersecting tests within the API already in Maya, but to my knowledge those only test for line intersection.
Anyone have any ideas where to start poking around, or even what terminology to use? I have been going with the google search of "mel, script, intersect, line, face, geometry" or something like that, but if there is a specific term for what I am looking for, that would be awesome as well.
