Collada Importer tS7.61

[clintonman]

Update August 21 2011

The plugin imports skeletons and skinning data.
The imported meshes are model side compatible(there was a bug)
Has buttons for converting the parenting structures to groups. Truespace only handles groups natively.

It does not import skeletal animations yet.

Very cool. We should be able to import a model and use the modelside to convert stuff to other formats as well. Will it work with Beta 8 too? Leroy.

Update July 2023

status messages during plugin run and script processing so it doesn't look frozen
new installer
New: now imports vertex colors
New: can import into existing scenes without name clashes - and avoid crashes
Updated: can import more than one actor from a file
Updated: can handle rotations better - improved large angle values handling and better Blender compatibility

new plugin version 16838421, Clintons3D Collada

The biggest goals for the update were to add vertex colors and have a worry free import without any problems caused by preexisting scene items.

Would like to try this
Can you upload a few dae files to test?

Clear Scene
Removes Vray, PhotoRender, and Layers Info nodes

Also noticed you are saving the SkeletonStart2 as an RsObj
Shouldn't this be saved as a RsSkel?
SkeletonStart2.RsSkel
