What reality factory really needs is to pack 3ds files directly to .act files
(i think 3ds is one of the most common 3d filetype almost universal)

You do this with Milkshape or another modelling program that can export BDY/MOT or NFO/KEY.

Yeah, true, but how about RF DIRECTLY Importing .3ds?
That would certainly make work easier!

3DS is a pretty limited and outdated file format. Collada support is on the todo list.

That would be awesome... I think.
I've heard about Collada, but I don't know exactly what it is... something about a cross-application model/material format? I need to do some research...

Once Collada support is implemented for RF, that would mean that pretty much any modelling program can be used. Yes...that includes Blender as Blender has Collada exporters.

I assume that Collada support is slated for RF2, not as an RF add-on? or, since RF2 will still run on the Genesis engine (as I understand it), will it work for both?
Also, are the Blender Collada exporters built-in, or are they third-party plugins?

RF2 will use Ogre3D, not the ancient Genesis3D. I guess that's one of the main reasons behind the whole RF2 thing: to get a modern graphics engine.

Collada support is what QoD is working on for RF1. RF2 already supports different modelling programs using Ogre Mesh files.
