[Papervision3D] Questions about WHICH 3D apps create collada

[Rémi Arnaud]

+ SketchUp is free, easy to use, and create COLLADA content (you'll have to
unzip the .kmz file to find the .dae inside)
+ Calligary just announced support for COLLADA in Truespace.
+ I know MODO have been working on a COLLADA import/export, maybe you can
contact them for an ETA
+ Lightwave have been working on this as well, you can ask them for an ETA
as well
+ DAZ and e-frontier have been working on a COLLADA export, you should ping
them for an ETA
+ DX studio has announced support for COLLADA
https://collada.org/public_forum/viewtopic.php?p=2764
+ There is a Photoshop CS3 pluggin that takes models directly from 3D
warehouse and convert those to COLLADA
+ And for the really expensive tools, you can find COLLADA export from
Autocad 8 and from Bentley :-)

 If you see more announcement, please do not hesitate to add those to the
collada wiki
