Ahh, it was this what u meant... Well, i myself currently is looking 4
the ways to implements this. And guess the 'direct' way of catching
the collisions between ground and the avatar (and change the position
of the avatar in accordance with the results of this collision
detection) would be quite slow here (i'm not even talking about
'built-in' collision detection, but about collision detection based on
picking mechanism). So, possibly, currently it is much better to
implement it by mathematical means (check current position of the
avatar with the equation of a plane representing the ground in this
position). The equations should be quite easy to figure out from the
vertices u used 4 constructing the ground.
