[Papervision3D] Best animation export workflow on MAC OSX 10.5

[Tim Knip]

afaik:
1] Maya has the most stable Collada exporter
2] Blender's is bugged, but will do the trick most of the time
3] DAZ idem
4] Sketchup works okay, but for the free version of SU you need to
export as KMZ and then unzip
   (or use PV3D's KMZ class)
5] Other apps I'm not familiar with

>> Hi.

>> I'm a 3d modeller teamed up with a flash coder here at my work place.
>> We are in the process of making a game in papervision. We've made some
>> serious progress but would like to add bones animation. (and use
>> DAEMC)
>>
>> So far the process we have tried is coming up blank, I was wondering
>> if anyone has any suggestions for Mac. Our last resort is to use Max

>> find something that doesn't go out of our workflow.

>> Cinema 4D r11 > collada DAE 1.4 > papervision = error
>> (DaeDocument#readNextAnimation)
>> Blender > collada DAE 1.4 > papervision = error (DaeDocument#readNextAnimation)
>>
>> I get both of these messages for DAE animations of either objects
>> moving or bones. All models & animations are exported after being
>> triangulated and given a solid colour material first.
>>
>> So we are contemplating using Modo, Maya and so on. Has anyone been
>> successful with either of these apps, or are we simply barking up the
>> wrong tree?
>>
>> Any replies seriously welcomed.

>> cheers,
