A New Continuous Collision Detection Library (CATCH) Release

We announced the release of a new continuous collision detection (CCD)
library, CATCH, based on the following SIGGRAPH 2007 paper:

Continuous Collision Detection for Articulated Models using Taylor
Models and Temporal Culling

You can download it from:

http://graphics.ewha.ac.kr/CATCH

Given the initial and final configurations of a moving articulated
model, CATCH creates a continuous motion with constant translational
and rotational velocities for each link, and checks for interferences
between the articulated model under continuous motion and other models
in the environment and for self-collisions. CATCH can perform CCDs
including self-collisions for articulated models consisting of many
links and tens of thousands of triangles in 1.22 ms on average running
on a 3.6 GHz Pentium 4 PC.
