[ODE] static Meshes

[George Birbilis]

see www.3impact.com, it has some tutorials there and it shows their approach
(they use ODE internally) that has visible meshes and invisile sphere-groups
that are defined by the user to cover the collidable area of the visible
mesh. So they calc collisions on the hidden sphere-group, not on the visible
mesh.

They also support defining a 2nd simpler mesh for the mass distribution of
the object (not sure how this is passed on to ODE)

> Hello.
> I have a static mesh for example a chair.
> So if I want to simulate a chair falling down some stairs do I have to
replace the chair by some primitive objects in ode or are there some other
elegant solutions?
