Hello,
I have a request for a new conditioner for the Collada Refinery tool:
http://www.collada.org/mediawiki/index. … A_Refinery
The problem I’m experiencing is related to reading KMZ/DAE files exported from Google Sketchup.
As you probably know, KMZ/DAE files make heavy use of scene node instancing, and libraries
such as FCollada, simply don’t support it.
What I suggest is a conditioner that can do the following:
-
Rebuild the node hierarchy so it doesn’t contain any node instancing.
Basically, it should instantiate and insert all node instances found in <library_visual_scenes>,
and then completely remove <library_nodes> from the file.
Note that there is already a conditioner called Kmzcleanup, however that deals with
material bindings and is not related to my problem.
You can call this Kmzcleanup2. 
But, if there’s already a fix for this, or if there’s a library that already supports
scene node instancing, please let me know.
Thanks.
