they didn't try that long. the first complete collada version (with full animation support) is only a few months old.
Well, let's look at this link for a moment:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COLLADA
And this quote:
Quote:
COLLADA version 1.4, released in January 2006, supports features such as character skinning and morph targets, rigid body dynamics and shader effects for multiple shading languages including the Cg programming language, GLSL and HLSL.
So, according to Wikipedia, version 1.4 has been out since January ... that is half a year already and this is for v1.4. Since they are on v1.4 then that means that there were previous versions.
According to one source, Collada was announced at SIGGRAPH 2004. This means it has been almost two years. So, as stated, they have been tring for quite some time to make Collada a standard. They may be getting somewhere, but there is still a long way to go, it seems.
