But barring all that filigree, a manually-adjusted field would be better than nothing, certainly.

Unless there's some previously unexamined downside? I note that the Lindens have had to tinker with the degenerate surface detection and handling because such scultpies were being exploited for some kind of griefing purposes. Who would'a thought?

This Hollowing option for sculpties would be a good middle ground, although one would have to consider exactly how to temporarily represent hollowing while creators adjust their sculpties for flotation.

Re: Coyote's comment - I fail to see how sculpties would cause any more issues with physics than their equivalent spheroids, excepting the absence of hollowing for flotation physics.

That said, I'm going to suggest that this and VWR-4418 can work hand-in-hand.

VWR-4418 requests a method of using a std existing tortured prim to define an estimated collision map for sculpts (and seperate the sculpt on a new tab etc). Using that same logic, the tortured prim used to define the collision map could be used to calculate the mass.

SVC-956 requests a method to more accurately determine a sculpts mass.
