Does Dark Physics have compound shapes?

I'm writing my own plug-in using PhysX and I always come here before I implement a feature to see what problems people may have and try to avoid the same pitfalls.

I can't find anything on compound shapes by doing a search.


EDIT: I should say 'compound actors' made up of multiple shapes.

O.K, I looked into it and I think that older versions of PhysX supported dynamic tri-meshes and perhaps thats why compound actors were not added to Dark Physics, dynamic tri-meshes are no longer supported, I'm guessing they were very slow and compound actors are faster, bit more work, but faster.

Some of the above is pure speculation.

Well you can work with convex obects with 256 polys. (hint: It does work with more polys)
