Does Babylon currently have a Collada/ .dae importer? I did some searching and didn’t find anything that was current-- just some dead links on the old HTMLGameDev forums to something that may have existed in 2016

I am not aware of any plugins supporting DAE so far for babylon.js. Could you open them in Blender or other Edition tools and then export as GLTF/GLB instead ?

I’ll try that out and see what happens

That does appear to work pretty well as far as I can tell on Blender 2.8 (current)

My solution is:
- Open this editor: [three.js editor](https://threejs.org/editor/)
- Import DAE from menu
- Add a material and set a texture
- Export to GLB
I use Blender 2.67. I cannot use Blender 2.9 because of my low-end laptop: `Asus K53SV; 8 GB RAM, i3 2.2 GHertz (2 cores); Intel HD Graphics 3000; Nvidia Geforce GT 540M (1 GB); Windows 10`
Even Blender 2.68 makes my laptop noisy a little bit. Blender 2.9 makes my laptop very noisy and the temperature become very high. Blender 2.67 is perfect because very quiet and I have everything what I need from it.
