Collada Nurbs and Splines

Hi again!

The collada file format supports splines and nurbs. Seems nurbs are not
supported in practice.
Joe: Could you confirm this?
Could you recommend us a tool that supports Collada to test against it?

Cheers!
Joaquín

I correct it:
Splines are supported in practice, but blender doesn't support them. We need
another software to test
Nurbs seems not to be supported by any software in practice. We need to confirm
this.

This is true, at least for practical use of Nurbs surfaces with
Collada (never seen it).  If possible, we should leave the door open
for future Nurbs support, but ignore them for the time being.

Nurbs splines might be used in practice... not sure how many apps support it.

I've mostly just used Collada with polygons, but splines would be super useful.


Sincerely,

Joe Crawford
