interface

uses X3DNodes;

{ Load Collada file as X3D.

  Written based on Collada 1.3.1 and 1.4.1 specifications.
  Should handle any Collada 1.3.x or 1.4.x or 1.5.x version.
  http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/1580/introduction_to_collada.php?page=6
  suggests that "specification stayed quite stable between 1.1 and 1.3.1",
  which means that older versions (< 1.3.1) may be handled too.

  @param(AllowKambiExtensions If @true we may use some of our engine specific
    extensions. For example, Material.mirror may be <> 0,
    see [http://castle-engine.sourceforge.net/x3d_extensions.php#section_ext_material_mirror].) }

implementation

uses SysUtils, CastleUtils, CastleStringUtils, CastleVectors, CastleColors,
  DOM, XMLRead, CastleXMLUtils, CastleWarnings, Classes, CastleClassUtils,
  FGL, Math, X3DLoadInternalUtils, CastleDownload, CastleURIUtils, URIParser;

{ Large missing stuff:

  - GPU shaders. We fully support the equivalent X3D nodes (for GLSL),
    so importing this from Collada (converting to X3D) is possible.

  - Animations. As an argument for supporting it, Blender *can* export
    some animations to Collada:

    - Transformation animation: Blender exports it,
      in a format that is close to Blender animation curves.
      There's a separate info about location.x, location.y etc. animation.
      Animation of rotation is animating angle of rotation around the X axis, etc.
      Animations are connected to Collada nodes by

        <channel source="#Cube_rotation_euler_Z-sampler" target="Cube/rotationZ.ANGLE"/>

      "target" attribute uses Collada id path.
      We'd have to group such animations of a vector components into a single
      animation (in X3D, you cannot animate translation.x separately,
      you only animate whole 3D translation vector).
      This is doable for our importer.

    - Shape keys animation from Blender is not exported to Collada, it seems.

    - Armature animation: Blender exports armature bones animation.
      Also, armature hierarchy is exported as Collada nodes.
      Armature bone names and weights are exported too.

      So armature is exported --- in a format reflecting armature setup in Blender,
      not as a processed effect it has on a model skin.
      Rendering it means performing bones+skin animation at runtime.
      X3D equivalent of this is H-Anim with skin, which we support fully.
      So importing such Collada is possible.

      It depends on importing first normal transformation animation
      (as the bones are animated just like normal transformations;
      there's no point in importing skin stuff if you can't import bones animation).

  These are all doable ideas, but also not trivial.
  Since Blender can export animations to Collada (and not yet to X3D),
  it would be quite useful.
  Contributions are welcome!
