3D package for creating .dae files

Hi all !!


This is my first post. I just got into developing and i find it very interesting.


I recently came across a problem i cannot seem to solve.


I am making an app for my company to visualise parts in the production. My goal is to show many different parts, and give the user the possibility to view these parts form any angle. I am using scene kit technology. I can see how this works when loading the demo app in xcode. But i have problems to import my own 3D models.


I have extensice knowledge of differet 3D packages Lightwave 3D and 3ds max. I try to use the COLLADA export option and it seems to export fine. But when i try to import the DAE file into xcode, the app just crashes. I can see something is wrong, because the file is not possibel to see in the Osx prewiew window. But if i open a file , for example the spaceship in the demo file - it previews fine.


Is there any 3d package you guys know about - that goves a hassle-free export-import of .dae files , i would be very happy to hear from you.

The Collada export form Lightwave makes Xcode crash. The solution to my problem was to do the modeling ant texturing in LightWave - export to Blender and save as .dae in Blender.


Works just fine.

I use MODO and Blender, but I don't think the solution to your problem is to switch apps.

I've used blender to export to dea files, it worked.
