Exporting Files

Its not always that you will have to work on a project using one software. Basically, you might start off in Blender, but you will want to switch to another software and continue from there.

That is possible as Blender allows Exporting to other formats. Blender 2.65 currently supports exporting to 8 formats, including COLLADA.

These are important so that you can share you files with others who are not Blender users, such as those using Autodesk® 3DS Max®.
