[Bf-committers] GSoC 2009 Proposal Draft: Collada Support Improvements For Blender

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

A quick research on fcollada reveiled that the project was dropped over  
a year ago by their creators, they continued it as closed source.

topic,735.0/lang,en

It still could mean that the old code is very good, but it would help  
to consult open source users of this system to validate it. And  
especially if there's interest by people to maintain or continue it?
