How do I perform collision tests between two 3D oriented bounding boxes?

Question

I want to test two 3D oriented bounding box objects against each other and stop them if there is a hit detected.

How can I accomplish this using only the collision detection functions in the Bullet physics API?

Look at the first sample in bullet source, App_BasicDemo, it does exactly this (collision between non-AA boxes).

Bullet comes with many demos, some of them just show or uses exactly what you want to achieve.

I suggest to have a look at the Bullet demos.

The demos folder should be right in the root of the Bullet source code.

	that demo uses the physics engine which is don't want to use. – user389006 Aug 11 '12 at 18:57
	@user389006 bullet is a physics library, if you do not want to use physics why using this library? i don't get your point and what you want to achieve. – user827992 Aug 11 '12 at 18:59
	i want to manage all the movement myself. should i use an other library for collision detection? – user389006 Aug 11 '12 at 19:05
	@user389006 just run the demos, you will controll the subject, the collision detection doesn't care about controlling the movement, you will control the player with your input, the point about a collision detection system is just to trigger an event when and if 2 or more meshes or parts of a mesh are in contact, nothing to do with controlling the movements, you can also find some articles online bulletphysics.org/mediawiki-1.5.8/index.php?title=Documentation , just run the demos and you will see everything by yourself. – user827992 Aug 11 '12 at 19:22
