I figured this is possible as I've seen it done in spinoff projects using newton. I have a polygonal scene I've modeled in blender and I want to have newton simulate physical interactions between rigid bodies and the scene.
The scene is actually a very simple collection of just two non-convex but closed shapes totaling just 170 faces. Is this possible? If so, how do I do it.

Use a trimesh or a compound collison

Thanks man. What exactly is the difference? Is one more efficient than the other? I'll be running this on an iPad so efficiency is top priority.

Edit: I found NewtonCreateTreeCollision which seems to be perfect for my application. Any problem with using this?

Collision Trees can't move. So there only useful for Static Geometry.
