I need code to find that vertex(point) is inside mesh.
I try to use Sparky's raycasting for this .Just check a few vectors from the point - if all of them collide that means that point is inside mesh.
But it doesn't work with backfaces - so If point is inside of a cube,for example, sparky will show that it is not.
So, any advice?

Probably you can do the opposite, check with vectors from outside to the point.

It can be helped by stretching an object, if you stretch an object with a negative value like -100, then all the normals will turn out and you can start the raycast from the inside, but for this you need to correctly configure the object in sparky, in particular, sc_allowObjectScaling , or make another sparky object with reverse normals.
p.s. sorry for my poor English.
