I'm writing this in response to the emails around FBX import topic.
Thank you Tom, Bastien, Toni, Jeffrey and Campbell for your input.
Bastien I also would like to express my admiration for the reverse
engineering work you have done so far.

Hi Stefano,
You say:
> We have created a Blender 2.49 plugin to import Collada 1.4.1
Then why not do it for 2.7x? That import API is there since 2009.
You are really welcome to pick up this development job and become a module
owner for the Collada importer. It's the stakeholder principle. If y
I'm compiling the key responses on the topic, thanks for the great
feedback/comments. Here also some reality checks.
Sorry this is long but i'm trying to wrap the topic up.

Just curious..
Would it not be possible to include a generic sub-process/pipe
import/export feature in blender. This would allow an external utility to
be run (transparent to the user, once install) which would be given the
filename (and/or sent the data via the stdio pipe) and in return it would

Ton dismissed (I think sanely) due to it being too difficult for
people to install the separate converter (for FBX for example) due to
the licenses preventing the distribution of the FBX SDK together with
Blender.

Hi,
I've investigated the FBX SDK license 2-3 years ago, and it is inappropriate to
use for many reasons. Just the main reasons:
1) Autodesk wants every user to register at their site, and we are held
responsible for that.
2) For libre/open source projects, the end user license is restricted t
Hi,

What I heard is the opposite. Natively Maya/Max support(ed?) only broken
versions of Collada. You have to install the opencollada plugin to get things
to "work". We use opencollada too, which is not in active development much.

Hi,
BTW: what happened to this?
We had Collada projects in 2011/2012 for animation:

Hi,
OK I remember again :)
This was for export only - saving Collada files in Blender with animation.
I talked to Bastien, and he thinks importing fbx (character with animation)
should be possible in not too much time. That only based on symmetrical testing
first (blender exports, blender read

just came across opengex and then i remembered this thread.
sounds interesting and maybe some of you didn't know about it yet?
cheers,

Sounds promising. As they have plans to build a blender plugin for opengex this
could be a chance.
