[Papervision3D] DAE animation Issues

[Tim Knip]

Hi Carl,

Yes, lots of issues remaining with DAE...

Especially with skinned meshes things go sour sometimes.
You might want to checkout the Skin3D class, where the skinning
algorithm resides.
Think I'm missing something there.

Anyway: I would be very interested in seeing your files so I can debug stuff.
So, could you pass me the files + preferably a screenshot of the scene in Maya?

Thanks,
Tim
