Welcome to the Wiki Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
These questions are about the wiki, not about COLLADA (see the COLLADA FAQ or COLLADA help desk). If you have a wiki question but no answer, start at the wiki help desk.
How to post a new FAQ (question and answer) using the following link
  • Include a concise question as the subject (title).
  • Include the answer as text below the subject/title.
  • Be thorough; provide as much of the answer as you can.
  • Provide links when available--such as wikilinks to related articles in this wiki, or a link to an online resource.
  • For long answers, create a new article and link to it from here (if your answer is more than a paragraph or so in length).
