Armature ARE supported, although you should take special care.<br>How NOT to do it: (see armature-dae.blend) Parent Meshes to bones.<br>How to DO it: (see armature-dae_modified.blend) Create Vertex groups, and add armature as modifier<br>
However, the final bimp is not ok.<br>Upon importing you will see that the last bone is't there. This doesn't seem to have an easy solution.<br><br>Next if you go in wireframe mode, the imported meshes dissappear. You can avoid this by selecting mesh and entering edit mode.
After this object won't dissapear. <br>(Note of chingiz: It's easy to fix if I find a
Blender's call which does this stuff. I used one before but it caused
bugs, so I turned it off.)<br><br>There is no support for metadata about object, sensors, ... As well you can't export any of the logic functions/Game engine stuff.<br><br>Also you can't export just a selection of a scene. You will first have to delete everything not needed in the export.<br>
<br>If you have other questions <span><span>chingiz.ds at <a href="http://gmail.com" target="_blank">gmail.com</a></span></span> is really helpful, and appreciates the testing.<br><br>Greets<br><font color="#888888"><br>
