BlenderPhi is based on the [Blender repository](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender.git). It includes the XMLExporter, an extension for exporting scenes to XML+BIN files. The export process is initiated before rendering in Cycles and is based on the Cycles Scene Nodes format. These nodes describe the entire scene in Cycles.

In addition to the XML file, a BIN file is also created. The BIN file contains all arrays and textures that cannot be stored in XML format. The BIN file always starts with a value indicating the size in bytes, followed by the actual data. The offset for each value is specified in the XML file.
## Wiki
To export data, the environment variable `CYCLES_XML_PATH` must be set to `cycles_graphs/scene.xml` before starting Blender. To export the scene, simply render the scene in Cycles. During the data preparation for Cycles, the scene is saved to XML+BIN.
