	and will then prevent it from moving through specified collision geometry
	(e.g. walls and floors of the) world, as well as having it fall under gravity.
	This animator provides a simple implementation of first person shooter cameras.
	Attach it to a camera, and the camera will behave as the player control in a
	first person shooter game: The camera stops and slides at walls, walks up stairs,
	falls down if there is no floor under it, and so on.

	The animator will treat any change in the position of its target scene
	node as movement, including a setPosition(), as movement.  If you want to
	teleport the target scene node manually to a location without it being effected
	by collision geometry, then call setTargetNode(node) after calling node->setPosition().
