+# BlenderPhi
 
-Blender
-=======
+BlenderPhi is based on the Blender repository. 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.
 
-Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite.
-It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline-modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing,
-motion tracking and video editing.
+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.

+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.
