I need to get the bounding box of an object for a plugin Im writing. I know about the GetRad function, but that only give the radius of the bounding box. How can I use that to get the MIN and MAX vectors of the objects bounding box? What happens if the axis is off center? Sample code would be great!

the GetRad function return a vector where x = width, y = heigth and z = depth. GetMp returns the bounding box center.

max = center+rad;
min = center-rad;easy, isn´t it?!
bounding box isec test?

Ok, I got that. I didn't think about the midpoint thing. Im still new at this. Now that I have the bounding box, I am trying to shoot rays at the object to see where they collide. I am using the GeRayCollider functions (Intersect, etc) but it never intersects. I even hardcoded the start and direction vectors in to make sure it would intersect and still no go. What am I doing wrong?
while (i<particles/3) { rc->Intersect(Vector(0,300,0), Vector(0,1,0), 100000.0,false); GeRayColResult res; if (rc->GetNearestIntersection(&res;)) { GePrint("Hit the object"); } i=i+1; } -

Nevermind. I gues the object in question needs to be a polygonal object? ALso, in the code I posted I had the direction vector pointed up instead of down. That was a typo. It seems to work now.

Thanks everyone!
