This makes the workflow for 3D games considerably easier, by allowing conversion of concave meshes of any form into a set of convex shapes. Triangle mesh shapes ( ConcavePolygonShape ) work very well as static colliders, but they are useless for rigid bodies or areas, as they have no internal volume. The convex problem.
