Collada scene graph

Does irrlicht support collada scene graphs?

I know about .irr scenes, but my artist doesn't use any of the tools that support that format.

Thanks!

Yes, collada scenes can be loaded. Please check the website for supported file formats.

After reading this post (http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... highlight=) I'm afraid that Collada scenes are not properly supported.

Is .IRR still the standard for scenes or is the community moving towards Collada or Open Scene Graph? Has anyone seen talk for support of the latter in Irrlicht?

Then maybe re-read my last posts in that thread. YES, Collada scenes are properly supported. Being loaded as scenes, not just one big object as most other formats would do!

OK, got, thanks

What's the best editor/exporter out there for creating Collada scene graphs?

I think most tools support Collada, so it's basically a matter of taste and confidence with your 3d editor of choice.

I'm having all kinds of problems rendering .DAE files exported from 3D Studio Max. Objects are showing up mis-sized and upside down

Anyone has experience rendering Collada scenes? Any pointers?

I am interested in loading Collada files as well. is there any was to load animated Collada scenes using Irrlicht?

No, sorry. The current setup does not support animations.

Thank you, but can I load the scene frame by frame and render each frame as a static scene? i want to make a short film with 100 frames. can i do thatwith Irrlicht?

If you have your mesh in several poses, you can simply create a new SAnimatedMesh and push the meshes into this mesh. Set the animation speed and the mesh will play through these frames.
