Collada Loader Tutorial

68.233.5.139/~transfer/Pics/larae.jpg Last month Brett announced that Torque 3D would support loading Collada files. Check out his blog for more information.

And now, we welcome you to the Collada Loader Tutorial for Torque 3D!

In this tutorial I walk you through creating an animated cube using XSI Mod Tool 6.01, exporting a collada file and loading the object into Torque 3D.

The following video was created using the Torque 3D Collada Test version 1.1 and will be updated for the new Torque 3D tools. A general knowledge of 3D modeling is helpful in completing this tutorial.

So when is the Video section of the TDN going up ?
- IMO, you can't rely on Vimeo to remain around as long as GG will be around. So...protect that powerful marketing material I say!
@Lara: pro job.
