ColladaLoader

A loader for the Collada format.

The Collada format is very complex so this loader only supports a subset of what is defined in the official specification.

Assets with a Z-UP coordinate system are transformed it into Y-UP by a simple rotation. The vertex data are not converted.

Code Example

const loader = new ColladaLoader();
const result = await loader.loadAsync( './models/collada/elf/elf.dae' );
scene.add( result.scene );

Import

ColladaLoader is an addon, and must be imported explicitly, see Installation#Addons.

import { ColladaLoader } from 'three/addons/loaders/ColladaLoader.js';

Constructor

new ColladaLoader()
