Polysoup for FB

Polysoup would really help with maps for this game especially since one could just go inside a modeling program model their map out within an hour or so. (Depends on how detailed they want it.) Then have it in FB in a matter of seconds for setting up lighting ingame. This can also apply to other objects for artists like bricks.

Can you explain what this actually is? I'm quite vague on it.

In brief it is Polygonal collision, and all of those aren't brushes they're meshes.

Nope. This is engine generating collision for non convex objects.

That demo uses OPCODE, which is limited in its portability. Bullet supports arbitrary collision meshes, and ripping out the current physics and replacing it with Bullet is my next highest priority after after the graphics/LDraw stuff, but I would strongly caution against abusing polysoup in a sandbox game.
