  • Clipper ( http://www.angusj.com/delphi/clipper.php )
  • poly2tri ( https://github.com/greenm01/poly2tri )
  • MIConvexHull ( https://github.com/DesignEngrLab/MIConvexHull )

and we were inspired to create a shader for design mode by

  • Wireframe Shader  ( https://github.com/Scrawk/Wireframe-Shader )

Math and Geometry functions are developed inspired by theory in the books :

  • “Foundations of Game Engine Development, Volume 1: Mathematics”, ( E. Lengyel )
  • “3D Game Engine Design: A Practical Approach to Real-Time Computer Graphics” (D. H. Eberly) ,
  • “Mathematics for 3D Game Programming and Computer Graphics” , (Eric Lengyel)
  • 3D Math Primer for Graphics and Game Development”, (Fletcher Dunn)
  • “Geometric Tools for Computer Graphic” ( P. Schneider , D. H. Eberly)
