<div dir="ltr">Does anyone know what the status of importing the kinematics portion of COLLADA 1.5 files into Blender is? My university has an OpenRAVE model of the Hubo+ robot, and I would like to import it into a 3D animation package (like Blender) to do character rigging, with the ultimate goal of designing motions in Blender and exporting the joint angles at each frame so we can play back the motions on the robot. The OpenRAVE model can be exported to COLLADA 1.5 .dae file, but when I import into Blender, it does not import the kinematic chain as an armature. I could add an armature by hand, but the OpenRAVE model is a living document that is constantly being updated, so I would like to have a pretty automatic OpenRAVE to Blender conversion.<div>
<br></div><div style>I found a post from Sept. 2011 saying they were "working on importing and exporting kinematics related data to blender," but that was over a year ago. <a href="http://openrave-users-list.185357.n3.nabble.com/blender-support-for-collada-1-5-tp3357898p3358208.html">http://openrave-users-list.185357.n3.nabble.com/blender-support-for-collada-1-5-tp3357898p3358208.html</a></div>
