[Bf-gamedev] Annoucement: Better Collada Exporter for Blender!

[Michael Knubben]

I've had resistance to this before, so we'll see were the goes, but: could
'export selected' please be a default? I work with a lot of highpoly data
that I bake to textures externally, and the amount of times I've
accidentally exported multiple meshes at 4 million tris is beyond counting!
This usually crashes blender, or at the very least takes a long time, and
my colleagues and I have long wished for a different default behaviour :)
