Actually Collada would be too much work, I'm really thinking about single figure, model/place inside an app, press a button, have that loaded in Blender, morph it, press another button and go back to the original app with the morph loaded. I can write to OBJ fast but Collada opens a whole series of problems. The issue for me is not the format as much as the automation. I'm wondering if I can call or control the importer/exporter from Blender in a batch/automated way.
Thanks.
