Re: centre of gravity and volume for mesh model

For the center of gravity you could just use the centroid of the mesh.
You can calculate the centroid by averaging the positions of all its
vertices.

This can fail - some parts of the model might have more
detail/vertices than others.

A real center of gravity is quite hard to calculate from
a polygon mesh.
