Instead of using a separate model for each of the 20 frames of the animation. I've cut back the number of Collada models to 3 and used the kml to instance them in different ways. The 3 Collada components are: - the static A-frame support structure. - the wheel, which I gradually rotate by changing the value in the tilt tag in every Time-Spanned element. - a model of a single carriage, instanced 15 (or 30) times each frame. With changing latitude, longitude and altitude values. File size is reduced from 3.8MB to a much more modest 268kB. Loading time is increased slightly, but the effect as each element appears is kind of interesting - rather like a flourescent light coming on. Post Extras
