Problems with tree collisions & NewtonCollisionPointDist

Hey all!

Does someone know if tree collisions are supported with the function NewtonCollisionPointDistance() ? The Newton manuals state that they are supported, and indeed, the Newton SDK demos show it's possible to do, but for some reason it doesn't work with OgreNewt::Collision::getNewtonCollision(). All the other OgreNewt collisions work fine (Box, Capsule...).

I really need to know what might be happening as it's a key feature of my project...
Thanks in advance!

[EDIT] Re-checking the source code of the demo, I've seen they use a convex hull, which unfortunately doesn't work for me. I guess I'll have to search for a way to do compound collisions to simulate the tree collision...

yeah, it only works on convex parts or compounds thereof.

might be worth requesting that the closestpoint function support TreeCollisions on the Newton forums... it might get added!

They mention it in the manual (though they seem to have forgotten to add a "not" there), so I guess they're already on it. Meanwhile, I'll be working this morning in a method to create a compound of convex hulls from a subentity with many convex subentities.hope this works for now...
Thanks for your help dude

Update:

After a lot of fighting with pointers and retrieving the submesh vertices from an entity, I managed to get the (highly buggy and un-optimized) functions to work. Now I can create a compound collision out of a series of convex hulls defined as submeshes
