Curious what is the future for physic shapes in defold? Convex hull as currently implemented is limiting. Where you have to make several if you want to closely trace a shape. Why can’t we create concave shapes and let the engine deconstruct it to convex shapes so it works with the physics engine? ---

There are some known limitations indeed, and there are existing feature requests: The most relevant for actually creating and editing convex shapes in Editor is [#6072](https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/6072), and has high priority (5/5). Next is [#6916](https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/6916), which is about improving automatically generated 2D collision shapes, is on the Defold backlog with priority 4/5. There’s also [#5894](https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/5894) for supporting several shapes in one `.convexshape` file with priority 4. Note that [1.13.2](https://defold.com/2026/09/29/Defold-1-13-2/) added already a much better workflow for 3D collision geometry (hulls and triangle meshes directly from glTF/GLB).
