collision types

Hello everyone
Can someone help me explain the 3 collision types? i have a general idea, but i can't seem to find any information on them.
What is the difference between: bounds, collision mesh and visible mesh?
And how is the collision created? Does T3D just copy the poly's for the collision or does it creat boxes?
And finally: what is the best way to create the collision? aiming at optimal performance?
thanks in advance.

You can use a box or cylendar named Collision-1

Making a collision mesh is quite simple. You can use a box or cylendar named Collision-1

bounds: the bounding box is the collision here.
collision mesh: i guess that i need to create a mesh here.
visible mesh: the poly's are doubled here and transformed to a collision mesh.
I don't know if this is correct, but if it is i guess i want to focus on the second method.
But how do i create a collision mesh? i worked with the unreal engine and there i had to rename the mesh to a certain standard. Is it the same here? or should i do it like i did with .dts? i tried that one, but maybe i did something wrong?
Forgot to mention i stepped from .dts to Collada. I switched to maya 2009 and thought it was a good time to do some collada testing.
