I have upgraded in my work now and use metal cloth beams interconnected with joints. it's basically a paint weighted plane mesh with a cloth bone and no rigid vertices exported with the actor-x plugin. the cloth objects yield excellent results with compartment mode on! anyways I am eager to try the apex module : ) The static objects with breakable joints are still implemented in the Unreal Development Kit, they are actually a bunch of simple Kactor’s with rigid body physics, interconnected with Joint actors. there are quite a few ways people could do this and still can!

So far there is not enough info to show that this isnt possible. Apparently there is a CPU interface so perhaps that could be used to generate new geometry Just In Time.

Not as fast as I planned ;)

The presentation had a good level of detail
Indeed. APEX is now close to release, afaik.
