1:31:12ellesar1 Q: Origin, BoxCenter, and HitP are on the same line. Why do we use HitP – Center for the normal computation, and not Origin – Center? The direction should be the same. Problems could arise if origin is within the box (esp if origin = center), but I don't think that's a use case. I understand the HitP is useful for other purposes, just wondering if it's actually necessary for the normals computation

1:53:23oliverthebestcat What do you think is a good idea in games? I feel like I tune into so many programmer streams telling me this and that is terrible, but not really giving me another option. I don't want the answer to be "wait for Jai"! What is good today?
