COLLADA importer

Panda Features in Development
40

Hi pro_rsoft !

I’m currently trying to incorporate your collada importer in our pipeline.
Since I need only basic stuff ( that’s it : no animation) I figured it will be ok.
( Fyi I need :

  • Scene graph with transforms.
  • Basic geometry, including normals, uvcoords, binormals, tangents, etc.
  • Multitexturing.
    )

Problem: it seems nice on some meshes, but fail on other: by “fail” I mean that the converter work without error, and the egg file seems correct. But once loaded in panda, no polygon are displayed.

After some test, it seems that it fails with meshes created with collada exports plug-in from maya ( maya 2008, colladaMaya v3.05B )

I don’t know if it’s related to the bug you already speak of ( with group or joint)

I’m still using panda3D 1.5.2, and I’m using the compiled version that you provided here.

I can give you some of the meshes that don’t work if you need them

anyway, thank for your work, it will really help us!
