[Papervision3D] collada vs. *.3DS file format PERFORMANCE ???

[andysk8er]

Here you go... Instead of using this:

shape = new Collada("models/car.dae", matList);

Use this:

shape = new Max3DS();
shape.load("models/car.3DS", matList);

There is a problem with the parser "flipping" the object which has been
discussed on this forum already. But it seems to work fine. I'm going to
spend some more time with this tonite and do a performance comparison. I'll
post samples and source code when I get a chance.

Thanks,
Andy
