Unknown mesh file type (.dae)

    When I try to run either basic.cpp or simulate.cpp on my robot, I get the following error:

    Code:
    Error: Unknown mesh file type: base_v2/base_light.dae
    I can get around this by setting the 'discardvisual' option in the <mujoco> section of my robot urdf to 'true'. But I'm wondering if there is a way to get MuJoCo to recognize this file format, or if there are other recognized file formats that I can easily convert my .dae files into.

    Thanks.

    You have to convert the mesh to STL binary.
