Re: Would you like to export 3D via PDF? 2005-05-25 - By runejw

Hmm, that's the second "universal" format I've heard about in a short

Here's another:

This format also takes into account animation-data.
In an ideal world there would be one all-encomassing single file-

However that seems to be a far off reality.
Cheers,
