Collision complex shapes

[handerson11]

Hi,

I am making a realistic assembly process with complex objects and realistic physics. I am currently populating the objects with spheres for collision but it is proving problematic and very time consuming.

Is there a simpler way to detect collision whilst having realistic physics being applied and allowing for grabber tool interaction?

Here is an example of a simple disc:

#Discs
#Disc1
Disc1=viz.addChild('Disc VR Models\Bottom Disc.wrl', euler=(0,90,0), color=viz.GREEN, alpha=1)
#Disc1.collideBox(friction=.001)
RADIUS = 0.075
TUBE_RADIUS = 0.02
for deg in range(0,360,10):
	x = math.sin(viz.radians(deg)) * RADIUS
	z = math.cos(viz.radians(deg)) * RADIUS
	Disc1.collideSphere(radius=TUBE_RADIUS,pos=(x,z,0))
Disc1.enable(viz.COLLIDE_NOTIFY)
Disc1.crashSound = viz.add('sounds/crashQuiet.wav')
Disc1.setPosition(0,1,1)

Thanks,
