For file size reduction, and easier distribution of 3D exports that produce multiple files, we’ve added an archive option to the 3D Export Master Tool Settings (where applicable).
The option will compress the output of a 3D model (and any accompanying textures) into a single zip file, allowing quicker & easier sharing (email, uploads etc) of 3D content.
The new option is applicable to 3D Studio Binary (*.3ds), AutoCAD Drawing (*.dwg), COLLADA (*.zae), VRML 1.0 (*.vrml) and VRML 2.0 (*.wrl) formats.
This functionality is also supported by the COM interface.
