Hello,

i imported a .dae file in blender with textures etc…
now i want to animate it but i dont know how… do i need an extra software for this? if yes what software?
( by the way i have a smd file there too and there are bones… i think^^ i’m really new in this kind of things)
the object i mean is here: The Models Resource

and by the way if someone knows how i can make the .dae look like the .obj tell me please… i want it to be much smoother

Not sure if .dae files come with useable bones but blender has the ability to animate the object there are many tutorials on YouTube for this.best of luck

sorry for the late reply there's a problem with blender because: anytime when i try to import a .dae file blender crashes :O what's the probleM?

 –

Could be a corrupt file in the dae or your blender program maybe try and export as a obj or fbx file.

but the dae file works in unity... and i also have a obj file and i can import this ^^ by the way: when i import the obj in blender all textures are okay (there are 3 textures for eyes body and mouth... and 1 other but i don't know the enlgish word^^) but if i import it in unity3D there is just the body texture and i can't import other textures on it because it has no meshes

 –

Are you importing obj to blender then exporting to unity with fbx?

 –

i got the obj file from the internet i guess its made by blender and it IS an obj file my problem is that the dae file has too much edges and the .obj is smooth :) and if i import the obj file in unity it has just 1 mesh to which i can attach 1 texture file in blender it has all 3 textures maybe because the material is linked in the oobj file i linked to it in the question you can try it^^ import the obj file in unity then you know what i mean
