I would like to be a "heavy" user of collada in the future but for right now we are still using our current pipeline. We don't have the time or knowledge to implement the collada support though so it is a bit of a chicken and an egg problem. Once OpenSG has extensive collada support I am guessing we will switch over. As far as animations go, that has always been something we have wanted better support for in the scene graphs we use. If OpenSG could fill this need using collada it could help us tremendously. Maybe the question we should ask is: - Who is willing to work on animation support in OpenSG with collada? Simon: Is there any funding or engineering time available as part of the project you are talking about? In other words, do you have anyone on your team that could devote some time to this development with the guidance of one of the OpenSG core team members? Or do you have any funding that could just be used to pay one of the core team to add the support that you need? > on a side note: openscenegraph has its own section in the collada forum, > perhaps > we should also add one when ready: > https://collada.org/public_forum/viewforum.php?f=14&sid=44d8551cac7a1b665c8a08e3a78b6f6a Sounds like a good idea to me. -Allen > cheers, > simon > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.
