[ODE] Cal3D

[Matthews, Steve USA]

Royce
   We are using cal3d for character animation and ODE for physics simulation, but they are disjoint, and there is no intention to use ODE for the individual rigid bodies within a cal3d object (yet).  I've thought about it, but I'm a student finishing my thesis and just don't have time. (plus I'm having a hard enough time right now figuring out how to use the tricollider)
   Anyways, you can see our use of cal3d at http://libgf.sourceforge.net, but I warn you, everything is still in development (no real releases yet) and may be for some time to come.  If you want to see what's been added using a thin wrapper around ODE pull the (if you can) PHYSICS_DEV_BRANCH branch in CVS and look at classes gfcd*.*, gfphysics*.* (plus some other classes that relate).
