Hi,

My name is Herbert Law.

I would like to talk to you about COLLADA, and how would LDraw tools 
utilize COLLADA.

COLLADA is an open source intermediate format for 3D digital assets.

If LDraw models can models in COLLADA format, all other modelers and 
rendering engines can view your models,
Tools support COLLADA or plan to support include Maya, Max, XSI, Daz, 
Carrara, Sketcup, Modo, Lightwave, and many more.
Rendering engine include Google Earth, Unreal C4, RealViz, Ogre, etc...

COLLADA can represent Geometries, Materials, Lights, Cameras, Shaders, 
Physics, Skins, Animation, and many more.
If you would like to learn more about COLLADA please check out
http://www.collada.org.
or ask me any question.

Thanks,

Herbert
