[Papervision3D] Blender ASE Export

[John Grden]

ASE is limited to objects that are one object - IE: the xwing is one
connected object and so is the tie fighter.  So, when you're creating your
models, you have to basically connect everything with booleans or using the
connect command (3D Studio has a connect feature, not sure how Maya might do
it).

Collada has support for entire scenes and structures.  So, now, the next
xwing I do for the games will have separate wings so that I can open and
close them - kinda like Carlos being able to animate the propellers
separately on the Apache helicopter.  That's a collada import and the
propellers are their own objects.  Carlos uses a getter method to retreive
by object name and then rotates on the Y axis.

So, ASE =  one single object and Collada = entire scene with separate
objects

I honestly can't wait to work with Collada and keep my objects separate for
animation etc
