For those times when (int)(v + 0.5f) just isn't enough


inline int MyMath::floatToIntRounded(hkReal value)
{
const hkReal lowerWhole = floor(value);
const hkReal upperWhole = ceil(value);

if((value - lowerWhole) < (upperWhole - value))
{
return floatToInt(lowerWhole + MY_EPSILON);
}
else
{
return floatToInt(upperWhole + MY_EPSILON);
}
}


(Thanks Dan)
