        The engine DreamWorks is working on is totally physics based.  It 
determines what density objects are involved, their velocities, and what 
noise would be produced if they collided.
        SounDelux's part was to do something unique - "one-sided" foley.   
For instance, they recorded the sound of wood being hit soft, and then the 
sound of wood being hit hard.  Now, if the player smacks a tree with a stick, 
both of those sounds would be mixed - the soft hit for the stick, and the 
hard hit for the tree.  The variable would be how hard the player swings.  
This is unlike SounDelux's normal "full" foley, which is used for just about 
everything, from movies (like Braveheart) to games (like Mechwarrior 2).
