Collada loader

[java3d-interest]

In case anyone is interested, in the course of working on J3DWorkbench, I have adopted, and started to improve and fix the Collada loader, whose source code is in the Java 3D incubator (paulby) and which was already worked on by the person who writes this blog (http://shinoblogbyshiva.blogspot.com/search/label/Collada).

I will work with 'aces' to integrate these changes back into the incubator if there is sufficient interest...

The loader will be a part of the next release of J3DWorkbench for fast importing of 3D assets from google, etc.

I, for one, am interested.  Thanks for taking this on.  Can we help?

===> Wonderfull news !
I am more than interested... ;)

I also think a Collada importer is an important thing today for java3d API.
In my application I use a 3DS importer but now the BIG thing over the Internet (google warehouse, 3dvia, ...) is the Collada objects.

I am ready for help.
At least testing help. More if I am able.

I'm interested too. Is the improved version available somewhere?

I have finished the first round of code cleaning and a few important bugfixes. So far, I can load just about every Collada file I have found on Google 3D warehouse.

Also, I added some utility methods to inquire about which way is Up (often Z), and a scale factor to apply to get to Java 3D 'normalized' meters.

I will be releasing the improved code with the upcoming major J3DWorkbench release (within 5 days). I will build a collada jar and make in available on sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/j3dworkbench/).

I would be happy to update the sourcecode in contrib-utils (original author, 'paulby': I would assume that is ok?).
