 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.

 Looks good:
 [http://www.bulletphysics.org/mediawiki-1.5.8/index.php/Collision_Shapes
 bullet wiki].
 However I don't know if all of bullet is implemented in Orxonox, but
 bullet can definitely handle it.
