[Papervision3D] Equivalent of a "hit" box in Flash for triggering button animations?

[Anthony Pace]

I was also thinking that if the shape is polygonal and not necessarily 
conforming to the dimensions of a rectangle, and you know what the final 
rendering will be, you can have a scaled copy of the shape in alpha act 
as sort of a masked hit test region; yet, this might be bloat.
