Hi,

You got animations exported in Collada format from Blender? How? I'm trying the same but the Collada 1.4 export keeps dying (even with a simple cube moved a few pixels!).

I'd like to get a simple animation imported into papervision3D.

Thanks!

hi markww, i didn't use PaperVision3D for a year, look like you 've to ask in PaperVision3D group about that question, actually it's not much code change to support blender ;)

Hi,

Blender's Collada exporter is very buggy(too much stop error!).
But, Blender's FBX exporter is almost safety.

Do you know Autodesk FBX Converter?
It's free(no cost) and very useful(Convert to FBX,Convert from FBX,Convert FBX to FBX).
Of course, it can convert to Collada(DAE).
You can download http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/mform?siteID=123112&id=10775855 .
(it require some your information...)

If Away3D can FBX Converter support done, might be supports for some 3D (FBX support) applications.

By the way, I'm tried moving my model in the Away3D(rev.682).
I could show your sample model(cute cat).
But, unfortunately I couldn't show other models.

Cheer Up!

Excuse me, consecutive comment.

I found a (unofficial) patch for Blender Collada Exporter.
There is http://cast3d.org/fixes:blenderfix at Cast3D site.

This patch is very fantastic!
I could display moving model!

A my simple test is http://bleble.s321.xrea.com/colladaTest/colladaTest.html

Cheers.

Hi nanmo,

I went to your http://bleble.s321.xrea.com and download your blender files for "ineine_pack". Then load one of your blender projects (inechan and inekun), export the model using Collada 1.4. Then I load that to Papervision3D, the animations are not smooth at all.. unlike your simple test "http://bleble.s321.xrea.com/colladaTest/colladaTest.html". Do you know why? Also, the code to test the 3D model doesn't add texture, not sure if that matter.

Also, I tried the Cast3D fix and it makes things worse..

thanks!
