Dear Away3D developers!
Don't let to die to this wonderful class ConvexBlock.
It works only in away3d-2.3.0 release and not higher. If I only could
to update it myself for FP10 but shame on me - I don't understand
nothing in Away3D core :(

Hey dimanjy
ah convexblock. so intriguing and yet, nothing more than a mathematical curiosity....
unfortunately convexblock sounds like a good idea in principal, but in practice it requires far too many calculations to ever hope of being something useful. In most cases, it makes performance worse! But it does have a certain hopeless charm, which i see you have noticed too ;)
maybe in future when i get nostalgic for convexblock it will be updated to the current versions. but for now, its a little too much to expect that there will be time for tinkering. however, if anyone want to recycle the convex outline code for stencil shadow mapping, be my guest!
