Hello.

I have the strangest problem when I use convex hulls for collision bodies using Newton. What makes this so irritating is that it does not happen every time I run the program. I don't even have to recompile the program for it to work fine on one run and then not be right on the next.
Basically, my convex hull collision bodies randomly decide when they will take the proper shape of the object and when they will not.
If it's something I'm doing wrong I would think they would be messed up everytime.
Has anyone else had this issue?

I scaled the model to be larger and re-exported it with MS3D and the issue appears to no longer occur.

The problem is still happening every once in awhile.

After researching this issue everywhere it appears that this is some kind of bug in the dll. And it seems like it's been doing this for a very long time, and not been resolved.

General Reed I'll probably be giving Darkphysics a try. Especially now that there aren't any more restrictions with it.
