Huh!

Another solution you might be able to try, which I've used in certain situations, is to create a polygon object in ICE with Convert Instances to Mesh on an empty Polygon Mesh, from your particle cloud. Obviously you need to use a simple sphere or icosohedron as the instanced particle. You can then shrinkwrap your polygoniser object onto this, for a super tight fit.

I've done quite a bit of this and the only way I could get a tighter 'fit' was to scale everything up.

In case you might have missed it or if it would make a difference, but there are polygonizer settings under both the generated polygonizer mesh, as well as the existing polygonized elements.
(only the generated polygonizer mesh setting popup when aplying it)

Thanks guys...just seems like the built in polygonizer has a limit to how "tight" it can create a mesh around very small particles. I just need to maybe scale the character up, simulate, than maybe shrink it down.

For particles below some threshold just render them as spheres?

So I have some small particles I want to polygonize. Using the built in version. I can't seem to get the mesh really tight/close to the particles. I can get there a bit with some insane settings but its too slow and not close enough. Is it sensitive to particle size in relation to SI units? Do they need to be larger?
