chiming in a little late on this one...  i need to preface the fact that i
have not tried using these classes YET but this cat:

http://lab.mathieu-badimon.com/

seems to have packaged up some nice stuff here:

http://five3d.mathieu-badimon.com/

along with some documentation and a getting started guide.

again, i haven't tried it yet but on the surface it looks like something you
might be able to toy with...

good luck,
Dunc
