Claim 7:
8. The method of claim 7 wherein determining the normal vector {right arrow over (n)}i to the plane that is tangent to the collision object at the point (pi) comprises interpolating individual normal vectors ({right arrow over (n)}i,1, {right arrow over (n)}i,2, {right arrow over (n)}i,3) according to an equation of the form {right arrow over (n)}i=λi,1{right arrow over (n)}i,1+λi,2{right arrow over (n)}i,2+λi,2{right arrow over (n)}i,2 wherein (λi,1, λi,2, λi,3) are the barycentric coordinates of the point (pi) relative to the collision-object vertices (ui,1, ui,2, ui,3) of the collision object triangle that includes the point (pi).
