i think that the best way will be own grater colliders for model and
one HashSpace for all lower colliders.

But i was thinking on sth like collider tree for humanoid model:
every collider connected to parent bone will "contain" all child
bones colliders; then it will be possible to estimate all boxes from
all possible realtive moves (from joints or/and from recorded
animations); but the win may not be worthy b/c it could take a lot of
time to do sth like this.
