LWCOLLADA is a LightWave(Intel) Plugin for COLLADA. COLLADA
is a COLLAborative Design Activity for establishing an interchange file format
for interactive 3D applications.
Development state
For the moment, this plugin can import a geometry (polygons node) only, without
a material, a normal, and so on.
'MANY' features are not implemented yet. Exporter is not implemented too.
Download
-- new version (04/11/15 ver0.01)
Binary (LightWave[8] Intel) is HERE.
Source code (VisualStudio.net2003) is HERE.
Put lwcollada.p into the plugins folder, and add it like other plugin. This
plugin needs some DLLs. If your system has not installed these DLLs, please
download and put them into a system directory (ex. c\windows\system32).
I use LightWave[8] SDK, but it does not mean that you can not use this plugin
on a former version of LightWave. I don't know exactly, but for example, LightWave7.5
is OK.
Usage
You can open a COLLADA format file from file menu, either Modeler
or LightWave.
Please get some sample files from the
official site, and try them(ex. cube.xml).
License
LWCOLLADA is released under the LGPL version 2 or above. LWCOLLADA
uses libxml++, Libxml2, zlib, libiconv and LightWave[8] SDK. I am thankful
to the author of these libraries.
