Is the position of the <instance> element under a <node> element important in relation to <translate>/<rotate>/<scale> elements?
For example:
A piece of a Collada file reads (attributes removed):
<node>
<instance>
<translate>
<scale>
In this example instance comes before and so the matrix which defines the position, rotation and scale of doesn’t include the and which follow it.
To include the and it should be:
<node>
<translate>
<scale>
<instance>
Is this correct or is the position of the <instance> element unimportant?
The specification isn’t clear about this, and the max and maya plugins differ in the position in which they put the <instance> element.
If the position of the <instance> element is important, it looks like the Max Collada script needs another fix. :x
