collada animation export, anyone?

[el_Raimundo]

Hi,
I'm trying to export a collada animation from vrep with the collada import/export plugin,
in order to create a fancy rendered animation with a 3d modeller+renderer.

I can save my collada file just fine,
but when I try to open it in maya, it crashes, and so does 3dsMax.
In blender I get the geometry at least, but it looks like a single frame, not an animation.
And yes, I did use the "export animation" option in the plugin dialog.

I'm wondering if anyone has ever successfully managed to open a collada animation (exported from v-rep) somewhere else, and if so, what software has been used.
I've searched the forum, the only similar request I've found was this one, but it's not very helpful.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated,
thanks,

Hello Raimund,

you are right, the animation exporter has a bug somewhere. If you dare to have a look at the source code, it is located in programming/v_repExtCollada. The part of interest is located in file colladadialog.cpp, in function simulationAboutToStart(), renderingPassAboutToBeCalled() and simulationEnded().

Cheers
