Exporting a 3D Model

You can export a 3D model to one of the following formats:

• Collada (*.dae), Zipped Collada (*.zae, *.zip). This format can be used to transfer your project to other 3D editing software (3DS Max, Maya, Cinema, Strata, Shade and others).
• VRML (*.wrl).
• X3D (*.x3d).
• Wavefront OBJ (*.obj) Wavefront OBJ Zipped (*.zip). (Pro edition only)
• glTF (*.gltf, *.glb). This format can be used to transfer your 3D model to other software in order to use an external renderer. (Pro edition only)
