I haven't had a chance to play with collada yet.

Pomax transfers rigging too, when you want it, but there's some falloff zone adjusting left to do after the import. (see discussion about it in max forums) It gives you an option to bring rigging in as max bones or a biped.
I don't know how to do the falloff zone adjustments and fine tune rigging in max yet, past the basics, so for now I just export poser animation. Eventually I'll learn more about max rigging, but I'm also working around other priorities. My particular goals are different from Operaguys, at the moment.

I saw some collada screenshots, and it looks like it lets you import morphs, right?
