> There are industry-standard interchange formats, namely COLLADA, that allow sharing assets between modeling tools and within the content pipeline in general. However, these formats are not optimized for size or runtime use and neither are modeling-tool-specific formats. At runtime, an application wishing to render an asset needs to do a significant amount of processing to transform the asset's content into data appropriate for the GL APIs.
