Re: Leafy BSP Tree Contruction

I seem to remember a thread about this, try searching the archives
(you might need to search Sweng Gamedev too).

One thing important for good results is to generate the plane from the
source triangle and just reference it from all polygons split from
that triangle, that way splitting doesn't dirty your plane equation.
Try combining that with penalizing splitting planes with other
parallel triangles and higher precision math.

Also, Real Time Collision Detection contains a some good guidelines on
"fat" bsp construction (using epsilons and such).  IIRC the key
involves treating transitions from/to side A/B and On in a logically
consistent way so slivers are never created.  You can probably derive
them yourself, but it does take lots of diagrams and brain mangling
about degenerate cases.

Cheers,
Adrian
