Android vuforia with collada file

I use vuforia to create android application for virtual reality. If I have models like .obj I used JPCT library for loading models.

Now I have models in collada file (.dea). I cannot find any library for loading this collada files.

I there any way to load collada files to vuforia?

Thank you.

Solution

  • No, Vuforia does not import collada files. https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/faq/technical-what-3d-model-formats-does-vuforia-support

    If you use Vuforia in Unity, Unity will handle loading your collada file: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/167548/collada-import-with-textures.html

    Update: The steps you'd need to take are:

    1. Download and install Unity 5.

    2. Download the Vuforia Unity bundle. (It's the third option.)

    3. Create a new Unity project (File > New Project...) and Import the Vuforia bundle (Assets > Import Package > Custom Package...)

    4. FIRST drag the collada textures into Unity's Project pane, followed by the .dae files.

      When you've confirmed this works for you, then you have the larger tasks of migrating your native Android Vuforia project into Unity. This requires moving from Java to C#. Then build and run on Android.
