GetLineTriangleIntersection(ref Line, ref MyTriangle_Vertices)

Checks whether a ray intersects a triangleVertexes. This uses the algorithm developed by Tomas Moller and Ben Trumbore, which was published in the Journal of Graphics Tools, pitch 2, "Fast, Minimum Storage Ray-Triangle Intersection".

This method is implemented using the pass-by-reference versions of the XNA math functions. Using these overloads is generally not recommended, because they make the code less readable than the normal pass-by-value versions. This method can be called very frequently in a tight inner loop, however, so in this particular case the performance benefits from passing everything by reference outweigh the loss of readability.
