Hey Wurmz!
UI updates...
#1 - i think we can replace the "Type" with "Collision" with a button next
to it. When you click the button it cycles between "None",
"Sphere","Box","Cylinder","Perfect". that instead of choosing between
decorative and collision.
#2 - for the material editor we don't just have 1 R,G,B,A oops! What we
need
A) Ambient Color - R,G,B sliders
B) Diffuse Color - R,G,B
C) Specular Color - R,G,B
D) Emmisive Color - R,G,B
E) Shinyness - 1 slider
F) Transparency - 1 slider
