AI-generatedChoosing Between MFnMesh::boundingBox + MItGeometry and MBoundingBox + Custom Octree for Paginated Large Mesh Queries
Goal: Retrieve vertex subsets of a large polygon mesh that fall inside a world‑space bounding box while processing the results in paginated chunks to keep memory usage low. Constraint: Using MFnMesh::boundingBox requires multiplying the object‑space AABB by the mesh’s inclusive transformation matrix for each query, adding a per‑call matrix multiplication. MI
