Overview:
I have a simple plastic sandbox represented by a 3D polygonal mesh. I need to be able to determine the water level after pouring a specific amount of water into the sandbox.

  • The water is distributed evenly from above when poured
  • No fluid simulation, the water is poured very slowly
  • It needs to be fast

Question:
What kind of techniques/algorithms could I use for this problem?

Polygonal mesh representing a simple sandbox

I'm not looking for a program or similar that can do this, just algorithms - I'll do the implementation.
