Sounds like you're making great strides, and what you're accomplishing now is
serious enough, IMO. You're enhancing an existing tool for the creation of more
complex scenes. Will there ever be a Windows build? :)

I was having that problem with Blender's Bullet implementation. I was trying to
use mesh links as well, but they would break sometimes. Do you have an option of
increasing the sim's accuracy? It might help.
Nice test scenes, BTW. The chain material looks a bit like lead, though (despite
the interior rust). If radiosity took into account a finish's brilliance, it
would look much better. Sometimes the only cure is to drive the diffuse down,
raise the reflection, add a tiny bumps normal, and render the scene with focal
blur.
The pearls look good as well, almost photographic. I wonder how several
concentric, translucent and refractive spheres with that pearl texture would
turn out...
