[Papervision3D] ShadedMaterials not working with Collada model

[Merrill, Jason]

>> I'm using Google Sketchup (free version) to produce the .dae files – 

>>are there any known issues to look out for there? 

>>I'm very new to making 3D models too, so I guess I might have made some error when building it? 



 

I tried some models with Google Sketchup about 18 months ago and, maybe it has changed since then, but at the time, the COLLADA file it exported had to be modified to make it compatible with Papervision – seems they used a slightly different or even wrong implementation of the COLLADA spec.  Probably fixed by now, but something to watch out for.

 

For free, besides Blender, check out Vizualpv3d:  http://www.juxtinteractive.com/work/vizualpv3d/ 

 

Not free, but fairly cheap, check out Swift3D  - has great PV3D support and they just released a new version (6) with enhanced modeling features.
