Collada 1.4 Plugin for Blender

The plugin consists of 2 part; the Collada 1.4.0 API and a Translator. The Collada 1.4.0 API is the converter between a Collada XML file (*.dae) and an object oriented representation of the Collada schema in Python. The purpose of the translator is to convert the Collada structure to Blender and vice versa. This translator does not make any use of the Collada file.
