Linking Space Object locations and angles to tube straights in VTube is possible. This describes the various metrics that you can display and report.
"NormV" = Normal Vector
This is a shortened version of "normal vector." For a Space Object, a normal vector is a bound vector perpendicular to the surface of the Space Object. It is "bound" because it starts at a point on the Space Object, then projects along a ray from the object. For example, a circle NormV starts at the centerpoint of a circle.
NormV Nearpass DistanceThis is the distance from the Space Object's normal vector to the straight line where the two pass each other in space. |
