What is DAE?
COLLADA (COLLAborative Design Activity) is an XML-based 3D format with the .dae extension. It supports geometry, materials, animations, physics, and effects. Managed by the Khronos Group.
Who uses DAE?
Used in SketchUp exports, game development (older pipelines), scientific visualization, and as an interchange format between DCC tools. Common in architectural visualization and Google Earth models.
