Blender 2.43 Collada Support

I was reading through the Blender site and noticed they are saying that Collada support in blender can now deal with armatures and animations. It's odd that the Illusoft site doesn't say that it has been worked on at all.

I'll have to take a look at it later to see if it's actually been worked on or if they lied, but it's going to be interesting if true.

Looks like we'll be able to make models for Unity for free soon, though.

 

Hrmm...I just tried it, using 2.43 - when you import a Blend file that has a bone animation, Unity doesn't recognize it, and won't let you place it in a scene. Hopefully this will work someday, but from what I can tell, not yet.

 

That animations from blender are not supported is mentioned in the unify-wiki under Tips Tricks - 3D Apps.

to see what app you need, to get it working.

 

I was talking about the very latest one, I was reading their change logs and they said that they fixed up Collada support. Wasn't sure if anybody tested this (when I read the wiki, they didn't mention what version of blender they were talking abotu).

I'll take a look at the other wiki list, though.
