Voxelshop commented on my entry yesterday and said that he solved the normals problem I had with COLLADA. I just checked it out and it all works! So COLLADA is back on the menu and so is VoxelShop. I am definitively sticking to it now. Its user interface is way more comfortable then other voxel editors. Thanks Voxelshop!
Here is rendered .dae in game with normals on:
This is with my dodgy shader for the lights. Looks good. And don't forget to grab Java installer for latest version of VoxelShop.
Great! Does it work correctly in both cases, "Y-Up" and "X-Up" (bottom setting on the export dialog)? I used a mdl viewer to debug normals, but you can never be sure how different importers handle specs...
Just for reference, this wasn't a big or complicated change. For those interested have a look at the commit here:

Yup, works with "Y-Up" and "X-Up" with Poly2Tri. :)
FYI, this is now an option "export orthogonal vertex normals" in the latest version (switched off by default!)
