FCollada

FCollada is an open-source C++ library which offers incomparable support for COLLADA interoperability.

FCollada is used in several commercial game engines, visualization and entertainment applications and translation plug-ins, including ColladaMaya and ColladaMax. Using FCollada to import COLLADA assets eliminates the cost of developing and maintaining proprietary translators and achieves perfect interoperability with Maya and 3DSMax.

The current version of FCollada is versatile under MSVS 2005. It can be used as a static library compiled against the different versions of CRT or as a DLL compiled against version 8.0 of the CRT DLLs. Whether you are using it as a static library or a DLL, you can choose whether to build it with Unicode support, which is highly recommended.
