thanks Gus.

Unfortunately, I'm out of approaches from this end, --- not much I can do at this point without access to the Blue Mars importer. But we have identified a couple of potential issues with the Collada exporter:

* No <bind_material> tag is written. This is obviously impacting Blue Mars, and it also prevents the material from being applied when importing the Collada file into LightWave.

* No <bind_vertex_input> is written to bind the texture coordinates to the mesh. This may be causing issues with Blue Mars, but I'm not sure if that's exactly what's breaking with it.

* When a texture is assigned in AC3D, no <library_images> section specifying the texture is included in the Collada export file.

With the first two issues, I'm not sure how much it affects other importers outside of Blue Mars and LightWave, but the third issue (no texture written) is definitely an issue.
