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

[Pablo Lemos]

But Max3DS class does not support all 3DMax versions.

Tim, could you tell us until what version of 3DMax we can use your class?

If you have anything to say about performance and best use, will be amazing.

Thanks in advance,

    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
