I wonder if there is a tool that could be used for easy generation of complex physics bodies in SpriteKit. I would like to have a volume based physical bodies with polygon-t
This is an adaptation of Xelt's answer in Swift 3.

You can just do this now to generate physics body from your sprite's PNG:
SKSpriteNode *yourPhysicsSprite = [SKSpriteNode spriteNodeWithImageNamed:@"yourPNG"];
yourPhysicsSprite.physicsBody = [SKPhysicsBody bodyWithTexture:yourPhysicsSprite.texture alphaThreshold:0.0f size:yourPhysicsSprite.texture.size];
Less precise and perhaps more costly than doing by hand, but works fine.
I created an editor and loader class to create complex SKPhysicsBodies and import them into your code. It allows you to trace around your sprite, add multiple bodies and export all within a pretty nice interface. Check out the SKImport here and the editor.
Awesome little web app, by DazChong. And canot wait for the update of PhysicsEditor!!
This one is also in development
You can download it in alpha stage here
I know this is a bit late, but I've just created a cool tool for this purpose which automatically creates a path around the sprite image (so you don't have to manually click on the points yourself), and then you can adjust various settings to better suit your requirements. The tool also outputs both Objective C and Swift program code for adding the path to a sprite physics body. Hope it's helpful to some people. Thanks:
