Another strategy you may want to consider (until v.4 is available) is using
the dynamics of particles for the simulation.
ie once the object is 'fractured' into seperate parts, ( the shatter script
at http://www.playstos.com/script.html is a good script to do this) there
are a few particle scripts around that enable you to, firstly position each
particle to the centre of each fractured object, then another script
constrains each object to its particle which, once you have an appropriate
collision size, you could then run a dynamic particle simulation on. I guess
it would work better with regular sized objects, but it does work. The
larger 'hero' pieces you could animate by hand or get jiggy with scripting
and get each particles obstacle size dependant on its fractured object
size - or something
good luck!
