I´ve been lecturing a Maya fundamentals class at HfG Offenbach,
we have a HEyeWall there plus the above Avalon tools, may be
worth checking it out. Collada supported, the guys use mostly Rawkee.
(http://www.heyewall.de/index.DE.php?page=index&lang=EN)
http://rawkee.sourceforge.net/
I haven´t been directly involved in the above but provided geometry
and scenedata from both Maya and XSI in various formats for trials,
XSI is (in my personal opion) superior for generating sourcegeometry
and (baked) textures.

I could hook you up with the guys at HfG fiddling with the stuff
but won´t be able to provide any further info/assistance, I got me
a replacement notification today :-)

Cheers

tim
