And while were here let's reduce the Collider Shape Margin. My scene is built at 1/100th scale and the Collider Shape Margin value of 0.04 equates to 4 centimeters in the 1/100th scale world. We want to reduce that down to a millimeter 0.001 and click Apply and Close. And now let's create the rigid set for these shards. Select all the shards, go to the Bullet menu and choose Create Rigid Set options and let's give it a more descriptive name. I'll call it Shards Rigid Set, and click Apply and Close. Once we do that we will see some new things up here in the Outliner. We see Shards Rigid Set and that's a set that includes all of our shard objects. And we'll also see Shards Rigid Sets…
