    Hi,

    when exporting objects from max into collada dae files, we encounter the following problems.

    under the node:

    COLLADA/library_physics_models/physics_model/rigid_body/technique_common/shape

    the scale factor (node "scale") for the collision shape is missing. Furthermore the rotation (node "rotate") seems to be wrong in some cases.

    Any idea ?

      Hi!

      I am sorry to say that I don't know the dae format very well, but could it be that the default scale is [1,1,1] (implicit if not specified) and the plugin is expecting that to be the case for all shapes? (Since the SDK can't handle scale)
      The reasons I can come to think of that might produce an erroneous rotation are:
      1. scaled transforms
      2. inverted transforms

      (I started working, a long time ago now, on a version that should handle scaling to some extent, but as there hasn't been time to take care of that, perhaps I should instead focus on producing warnings when objects have scaled or inverted transforms... I'll add that to the TODO list)
