Blender files and Library linking

Mixing "direct" and "indirect" data not well supported T26706
Making local data which is still used in libraries, causes problems T44321

All Formats

Currently negative scales will flip faces for formats which don't store object transformations (obj, ply, stl ... etc). T35892

FBX

See Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/Import-Export/Autodesk_FBX.

Alembic

While Alembic exports particles as points and supports ParticleInstance modifiers it could also support particle duplication (dupliobjects etc.), see T54703

OpenCollada

Moving opencollada bugs to TODO has been done since this has so far not yet been effectively maintained.

This is not a step to remove collada support, however if in the next year there is little work done in this area we may have to reconsider.

I propose the first goal to get blender exporting armatures, animation & geometry to 1 application successfully as a first goal.

Since the 2.4x python script was capable of this, it should not be so hard.

Export to SecondLife can be our first target, this has the advantage that secondlife is opensource therefor easier to get hold of for testing.

Plans

Short term goals (Blender 2.64)

Make export and Import more robust. Idealy reimport of an exported collada file should recreate the original data.
Organize module testing. Please feel free to provide test cases and results on the Collada Import/Export page

Long term goals

Investigate in ways to improve the Collada module. Currently 3 possible approaches are investigated:
- Fix the current Bugs and make the OpenCollada based module stable and fit for purpose
- Refactor/Rewrite the module based on OpenCollada
- Create a Python based solution. (some comments)

Feature set on the GUI

Curent state (june 2012)

Planned (to be approved)

Selection Only
Include Children (regardless of selection state)
Include Armatures

Use Object instantiation
Export for Second Life

Application Support

Here we collect which Apps Work, Which have issues. Currently the list is in relation to Blender revision 43930 (pre 2.62)

Collada compatibility

Target System	Static Meshes	Armatures	Animation	Comment
Blender	OK	Error	?	Import issues will be fixed after 2.62
Second Life	OK	OK	n.a.	in depth tests in progress
Maya 2012	?	?	?	Waiting for response from Tester
