[Bf-committers] Collada Importer still broken for Characters with multiple meshes/bind poses.

[Stefano Corazza]

Dear Ton,

I had linked the example files in my previous message:

>/  Here a test case where Blender simply crashes:

/
We are happy to provide a full test set for Collada and FBX.

FBX is getting much more attention now than Collada. Might be a closer target to get done.

Collada is right now 90% there as it just lacks support for multiple meshes/bind poses.

For FBX are you integrating FBX SDK or are you reverse engineering the format?
I'm curious because as we checked we found that the FBX importer is far behind.

Thanks!

Stefano

Hi Stefano,

A good first step is to provide a collada example (or a numnber of examples) in our tracker, so things are reported and we can have a reference for testing.

Same I would do for fbx files - same characters/animations preferably.

Then also report on which software can be used to read these files properly?

FBX is getting much more attention now than Collada. Might be a closer target to get done.
