COLLADA is the standard 3D file format, used by the largest and most successful game studios. It is also increasingly used to exchange assets between Maya, 3ds Max, Google Earth, Photoshop and dozens of leading graphics applications.
Feeling Software's offerings for COLLADA include:
- ColladaMax and ColladaMaya: full-featured translators for 3ds Max and Maya
- ColladaMotionBuilder (ColladaMB): export for MotionBuilder.
- Feeling Viewer: the one and only COLLADA-compliant 3D engine and viewer, available for licensing in 3rd party applications or stand-alone
- COLLADA Premium Support: access to exclusive features, affordable custom development and daily bug fixes
