Description

Pull #370 changed COLLADAMayaControllerExporter to add all joints in the hierarchy to skin controllers instead of the previous behavior where just joints with influence were added. There should be an option to export using the old behavior as that is required by some pipelines.

Identify the exporter option or configuration point that can select the previous influence-only behavior, then verify that both export modes produce the intended joint sets for affected pipelines.
