Hi All,
Collada File format seems interesting even if in the future when we well
work side by side with a 3d program ... (if we well find one )
Do not forget that our file is an xml file (clear text ) so anyone can
read it ..
so we can add this as a Traker wish ... but i hope we focus our
attention on the actual open traker ;-)
Regards,
Matteo
