c# - How to check whether the point is in the tetrahedron or not?

Question

I know all coordinates of tetrahedron and the point I would like to determine. So does anyone know how to do it? I've tried to determine the point's belonging to each triangle of tetrahedron, and if it's true to all triangles then the point is in the tetrahedron. But it's absolutely wrong.

Answer 1

For each plane of the tetrahedron, check if the point is on the same side as the remaining vertex:

bool SameSide(v1, v2, v3, v4, p)
{
    normal := cross(v2 - v1, v3 - v1)
    dotV4 := dot(normal, v4 - v1)
    dotP := dot(normal, p - v1)
    return Math.Sign(dotV4) == Math.Sign(dotP);
}

And you need to check this for each plane:

bool PointInTetrahedron(v1, v2, v3, v4, p)
{
    return SameSide(v1, v2, v3, v4, p) &&
           SameSide(v2, v3, v4, v1, p) &&
           SameSide(v3, v4, v1, v2, p) &&
           SameSide(v4, v1, v2, v3, p);               
}
