[ODE] experience with local trimeshes

    Yes, It's a good solution but the problem is HOW can we create
    small trimesh out of such bunch of tris? I think, people have an
    editor to do that.

LH> If you disable objects which are not moving you can save a lot of time and the performance is no problem at all.
    Absolutely!

    IMHO, ODE has *almost* all the techniques needed for a good
    physics SDK, the problem now is HOW to use it effectively.
