[Bf-committers] Is collada work in progress?

[Reuben Martin]

Yo, back on Tuesday 09 February 2010 Dave Plater was all like:

You have to download and install the OpenCollada SDK. You will need to pull 
from their SVN, since they do not tag releases of anything other than their 
max and maya plugins.

Blender's 2.5 trunk should build against OpenCollada's SVN revision #721 
(Actually you can build it againt the SDK Head since all revisions since then 
have been in a development branch)


After building you will have to install libs and include files manually. Their 
scons script only deals with compiling and the Makefile does not provide access 
to the build options you will need to set :P
