GeneratePhysicRepresentationForMesh causing slow down

[BetaJester]

Of course, that's what prefabs are meant to be used for. What GeneratePhysicRepresentationForMesh() does is re-create the entire particle-and-constraint representation of a mesh from scratch. This is very expensive and generally not supposed to be done at runtime unless you're generating entirely procedural actors.

A prefab already contains all this information in serialized form. So you simply instantiate it, assign it to a solver, and you're done. Excerpt from the manual:

Great stuff, I was trying to do this with in-scene prototypes, but that was causing an issue where the physics wouldn't work. I will try this and report back
