Luxology just announced a new custom COLLADA plugin for the upcoming modo401 that will introduce several new import and export features capable of preserving the most complex 3D pipelines.

Luxology will be demonstrating its new COLLADA plug-in at the GDC 2009 Chalk Talk session called “New COLLADA I/O Plug-in for modo 401.” Presented by Luxology’s David Vasquez, the session will take place at the Intel Visual Adrenaline Lounge from 1:30 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 26.

It also supports layers transform stacks and a special “modo profile” technique that allows you to export every attribute as Text properties that can be properly imported back later, allowing you to manipulate the data with other packages.
