Hi all -
I'm working on generating some interactive 3D figures, and have found that
PyMOL is able to write .obj and .wrl files, which is nice. However, I would
like to be able to use COLLADA (.dae) format. I have found tools (MeshLab and
Blender, for example) that can convert among various formats, but the process
is somewhat convoluted and tedious, and so far I've been unable to replicate
the lighting, view, and scale of the PyMOL session in the resulting scene
entirely, and certainly not without without a lot of manual adjustment in these
programs.
I don't know much about the internal data structures in PyMOL, but I wonder how
complicated it would be to write a direct COLLADA exporter into PyMOL's save
command (e.g. `save my_scene.dae`). There is a module called pycollada that
seems to be fairly well documented and might be useful.
In the meantime, I'd be interested in hearing about other solutions any of you
may have worked out for converting .wrl files to .dae format, especially those
that can be automated. Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Jared
