[Papervision3D] Coming soon... Physics for Away3d

[Rob Bateman]

Hi Martin

swept volumes are generally used for plane-plane collision which
unfortunately aren't implemented at the moment. however, i am working on
adding a technique called raytracing to sphere-sphere and sphere-plane
collisions, which should be available to switch on with fast moving objects
like you describe. This is essential to stop 'tunneling', where an object
appears to pass through another without registering a collision because it's
movement per-frame exceeds it's dimensions. But because it adds to the
overall processing of collisions, raytracing has to be disabled for all but
those objects that require such precision!
