CASE STUDY: Jupiter Ascending: Caine's Quest
How To Get 3D Content Into Engine?
Sifting through community made tools (Exporters, converters, loaders)
Trial and error (Character animations…)
Documentation (or lack there-of)
Hard to find consistency

Final Pipeline
Environment/Animated character created and
exported from 3DS Max/Maya using Open Collada plugins
Open Collada file passed along to devs for implementation
Modified Collada loader forThree.js used to load/test assets
Cumbersome and potentially problematic
