There are several methods to determine whether a line segment intersects a triangle in three-dimensional space, but one commonly used approach is as follows:
Determine if the line segment intersects the plane of the triangle. To do this, compute the dot product of the line segment's direction vector with the normal vector of the triangle's plane. If the dot product is zero, the line segment is parallel to the plane and does not intersect it. If the dot product is nonzero, the line segment intersects the plane at a point.
Determine if the point of intersection is inside the triangle. To do this, project the triangle onto the plane of the triangle, and then check if the point of intersection is inside the projected triangle. One way to do this is to compute barycentric coordinates of the point of intersection with respect to the projected triangle. If all three barycentric coordinates are between 0 and 1, the point of intersection is inside the triangle. Otherwise, it is outside.
If the point of intersection is inside the triangle, the line segment intersects the triangle. If the point of intersection is not inside the triangle, the line segment does not intersect the triangle.
