Starting with some coffee beans drop scene, when changing convex hull to concave, CPU cost flying up to ceiling, and houdini crashed

I thought it might be too brual force to bullet 500 coffee beans, but it's houdini right? There must be something I missed.

I'd generally advise against using concave shapes where possible - for a case like this you'll probably get much better results from using either VDB to Spheres or Convex Decomposition to generate proxy collision shapes.

you're not seriously simming the beans with the actual ‘crack’ down the middle, are you ?

surely it's basically a half capsule.

Yeah, it's indeed much faster with a relatively resonable convex !

Brilliant!
I used to generate 500 beans at a time with copy to point, did you meand to bullet beans within frame? I'll definately try that ! thx !
