Generally games and similar stuff use geometry (maybe simplified) for the
"level", and simple primitives (spheres/capsules/boxes/rays) for all the
moving stuff.

Works fairly well, and it's easier for the player if he can just slide along
the wall (if he's a sphere or capsule), instead of having his arm animation
collide with the wall periodically :)
