Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

Penetration of rigid bodies
Is there a way to prevent this issue or at least minimize it?
In the screenshot, the boulder hit's the rails and and pieces get bent and separated, etc. The pieces that fall, which isn't much right now, seem to always penetrate the ground. The big boulder is the only thing that doesn't seem to cause problems

tassilation
how about the geoconnector node on the small pieces. increase that.

Well, I tried increasing the tassilation
and divisions, etc but it didn't have any effect. I'll try the geoconnector node thingy.

collision tolerance on the rigid solver might be what you are after.

The first thing i would try though, is making sure all normals are set in the right direction, collisions are based upon normal direction and if one normal is pointed the wrong direction it can cause penetration issues like this.
Also when you get ready to do this with your hero models, you can actually use Sdandin geometry for the collisions so that the calculations will run much faster, and still get the same effect.
