The blog link below is an interesting example of why Intel should be supporting COLLADA (which we do btw). This user wants to enhance the quality of her photoshop work by using 3D objects with shaders applied, and use (and interchange) different DCC tools to achieve her best model effect. Unfortunately due to weak exporters (FBX or COLLADA), shaders are not exported as well as they could be, thus there is no easy way for end users to use the high end shaders they create in a DCC tool (and supported on their good quality graphics cards)

Irène Vatton has just announced the availability of the latest Amaya version, namely Amaya 11 . (For those who may not know what Amaya is, it is an open source (X)HTML browser and editor in one.) The interesting point in this release for Semantic Web users is that Amaya “understands” RDFa . What this means is that, when using the RDFa DTD (which is one of the DTD-s that Amaya offers for any new document), Amaya knows about all the RDFa attributes (i.e., @about , @resource , etc), i.e., one can use the usual user interface features of Amaya to add and edit them.
