Generalizing collision normal between two arbitrary shapes

[QUOTE="haruspex, post: 5500720, member: 334404"] Not sure how you are defining collision normal, but basing it on the line joining the mass centres does not sound right. First, there is the question of the tangent plane at the point of contact. The normal to that could be considered a collision normal. Next, there is the relative velocity. The direction of that vector is also relevant. [/QUOTE]
