Re: [Algorithms] Kinematic Collision

spot on really
key point here is to avoid arbitrary geometry from the artists when using
the raycast technique. if you can't do this and you have to support
arbitrary geometry and/or dynamic geometry - it's probably best to use a
modern technique, even though it is more expensive.
