This NOT a missing "OpenCollada" Library, The 2.69 ubuntu version is just compiled without the collada extension plugin, as explained on the blender plugins site. As a matter of proof, when you download the 2.76b binaries from the blender site, it works perfectly and features the .dae/collada import and export.
As Blender is a major element of Ubuntu distibutions (especially the studio one), and because .dae is one of the most important data formats for file exchange and transfer, fixing it is not a simple comfort wish but an important point. OpenCollada library might be interesting for other software, According to http://opencollada.org/, it is used to deveop I∕O plugins for 3ds-MAX and Maya at the moment. Blender seems to use its own code: http://fossies.org/dox/blender-2.76b/collada_8cpp.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1058777 Title: [needs-packaging] OpenCollada library (for blender Collada import/export plugins) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1058777/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
