Comment(by bknecht):

 Replying to [comment:1 zifloria]:
 > The Unreal Engine 3 / UDK way of handling collision shapes in modern
 games is to create a separate, simpler model in the modelling application
 and use that as a collision shape. This model needs to be made up of
 convex objects only. In UDK, this model can be autogenerated for simple
 objects.

 a collision model to Orxonox.

 Orxonox collision model. (most likely easier)

 I see you address Blender plugins in your two recent ticket comments.

 I like it, but make sure that Ogre/Bullet can handle this the same way (or
 in a similar way) as UDK before you put any work into it.
