Add support for capsule and cylinder creation/serialization #12

Currently, Dynamica for Maya only supports sphere, box, plane, convex hull and 
concave triangle mesh shapes.

It would be useful to add capsule and cylinder shape. This would help with 
ragdoll setup.

We would need the Cone Twist constraint as well to do ragdolls in Maya.

The btConeTwistConstraint is handy for ragdolls indeed, but the 
btGeneric6DofConstraint can do ragdolls as well.

Hi, 

What are the plans for adding capsule and cylinder collision meshes? I noticed 
there are options to change from box / sphere to cylinder or capsule in the 
attribute editor for the selected drigidbody, but changing the type dropdown 
doesn't effect anything?

Cheers :)

We have more plans then people. I am working on Bullet on my own, there is no 
team. Dynamica is just one of the 1000 side projects. My main project is Bullet 
3.x, for OpenCL, and maintaining Bullet 2.x.

Contributions are welcome.
