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. - - -Project Pages -------------- - -- [Main Website](http://www.blender.org) -- [Reference Manual](https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/index.html) -- [User Community](https://www.blender.org/community/) - -Development ------------ - -- [Build Instructions](https://developer.blender.org/docs/handbook/building_blender/) -- [Code Review & Bug Tracker](https://projects.blender.org) -- [Developer Forum](https://devtalk.blender.org) -- [Developer Documentation](https://developer.blender.org/docs/) - - -License -------- - -Blender as a whole is licensed under the GNU General Public License, Version 3. -Individual files may have a different, but compatible license. - -See [blender.org/about/license](https://www.blender.org/about/license) for details. +To export data, the environment variable `CYCLES_XML_PATH` must be set to `cycles_graphs/scene.xml` before starting Blender.
