Philippe,
We do not have this capability. It would require some pretty intense CPU power,
along with a fairly complex routine. Still, object deformation is the next
logical step after collision detection, so we may take a look at it in the
future. While it requires manual labor, objects may be morphed or deformed
after DMM has calculated the collisions. In some cases, this would be useful
(like squishing a ball). In other cases, like draping a cloth over a chair, it
would not work.
We have some pretty ambitious goals for SIGGRAPH.
