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

[Sam Brubaker]

@Michael: Could that be achieved by adding an Operator Preset in the top
menu?

@Juan: Thank you for making this exporter! It looks terrific. If it truly
is more robust than the built-in exporter, Is there any reason that this
new one shouldn't supplant the built-in one? What remaining advantages
would the built--in exporter have over yours?
