[Papervision3D] 3D model with DAE, wrong rotation.

[ronaldlee]

I use blender 2.46. But also you need to download python 2.5, then in
Windows you need to set the "PYTHONHOME" to your python directory, then
Blender will use that instead of its own. You will see that in the DOS
window.

So in 3ds, can you create different animation groups (walk, wave, jump,
etc..), and then in papervision can you control what animation to play??
Does the animation smooth?

thx.
Ronald
