re: XAML

Hi Haik, I have been following the XAML/WPF technology somewhat.

It will probably be a while before I'll be able to add this in, file format work in general can tend to be a bit finicky, just because it needs a lot of testing. For the V1 release I'm only planning on trying to add AI support to the current file formats.

For a future version past V1 I want to make it easier to have a plug-in system so that different exporters can be developed as plug-ins more easily.

One thing that is kind of weird about WPF 3D is I don't understand why they didn't build in support for directly reading in a couple of the most common 3D file formats, like .3ds or .obj for example. It is fine to have an internal mesh object representation that can be specified with XAML, but it seems like it would be quite convenient to leave things in a common file format and have XAML or WPF code read those files in directly...

Maybe if WPF 3D gets used more often they will add this in and then XAML export would not be really necessary...
