No, not really. It'd be fairly simple for axis aligned, non-scaled
objects, but once you start rotating stuff it becomes difficult. You
would have to calculate the silhouette of an object and that would the
end of the 'real' in 'Interactive real-time feedback' :-) And I won't
even mention CSG. (Oh, I just did... sorry). ;-)
