Adds Export of Collada Files

Using this recent version (2.1.0), developers can export Collada 3D files. In the previous version (2.0.0), we have already added its import feature, since developers can also convert a Collada file to other supported 3D file formats.

C#

 public void Open(System.IO.Stream stream, Aspose.ThreeD.Formats.LoadOptions options);

public void Open(string fileName, Aspose.ThreeD.Formats.LoadOptions options);

Detect the Type of a 3D File

The Detect method of the Aspose.ThreeD.FileFormat class can recognise the type of any supported 3D file.

Console.WriteLine("File Format: " + inputFormat.ToString());

Adds Detect, CreateLoadOptions and CreateSaveOptions Methods in the Aspose.ThreeD.FileFormat Class

After the recognition of a 3D file type, developers can create LoadOptions and SaveOptions objects for the further manipulation tasks.
