Copy cube.dae to OGLES2PODPlay folder fix the Sample.pvres to below line.

 

pod:cube.pod

 

PVRShaman is able to successfully render the generated POD file.

 

Is it possible to download the sources for Command Line version of Collada2POD?

Copy cube.pod. Not cube.dae.

If PVRShaman is successfully rendering the POD then the problem is likely to be in the PODPlayer application - it’s not as fully featured or as forgiving as PVRShaman usually and is provided as an example more than a robust renderer of PODs. That said, it’s on my todo list to improve its featrues and reliability so I’ve filed a bug report against this issue (BRN27237) and will try and look at it before our next release.





PODPlayer is mostly tested with indexed triangle lists and interleaved data as this is our general recommendation for exporting geometry. You may have more success using these export options.

Collada2POD is a utility (command line and GUI) available as part of our SDK and also as a separate download here:
