  Hi there, apologies if this has been asked before. Is there a way to create a simple collision mesh to act as a rigid body and then parent the more complex geometry to this collision mesh with the new rigid body system?

  This used to be simple in the bullet tag by specifying "compound collision shape" and then creating a large scale rigid body sim using a cloner.

  I have a complex spherical object that I want to create a simple collision mesh for and then place in a cloner and simulate. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you

  Unfortunately this doesn't appear to be a trivial problem to solve. I could dive into it more but this requires some algorithm rather than a "clever" setup. I spent some time to prompt an AI agent to do it in html - JavaScript and while it appears to work, the results are not nice, proving this is not a simple case of just adding random tiles and then filling the gaps... I will do some more research because it's an interesting topic but have no idea if something will come out of this...
