DaeXport | One-Click DAE (Collada) Export

DaeXport – Bringing DAE Export Back to Blender 5+

If you upgraded to Blender 5+ and suddenly realized the official DAE exporter was gone, you’re not alone.

Collada is still required in many pipelines — AR platforms, academic submissions, legacy engines, and cross-software workflows. But exporting a clean DAE used to mean manual baking, UV fixes, mesh joining, and multiple failed attempts.

DaeXport was built to remove that friction.

With one click, DaeXport converts complex, multi-objects into a clean, single DAE file. It automatically bakes textures, packs UVs, and prepares export-ready geometry in the background.

Your original scene remains completely untouched.


  • No destructive edits.
  • No manual cleanup.
  • No repeating the same export steps again and again.


Why It Exists

In real production work, DAE is often a delivery requirement — not a choice.

After Blender 5+ removed the built-in exporter, workflows broke overnight. Instead of fighting the pipeline, DaeXport restores it in a reliable and predictable way.

It handles the technical steps quietly in the background so you can stay focused on modeling, design, and production.


What Happens When You Click Export

  • Temporary copies are created
  • Materials are baked into texture
  • Clean UVs are generated and packed
  • Optional geometry cleanup is applied
  • A ready-to-use .dae file is exported

Your working file stays exactly as it was.


Built For People Who Actually Need DAE

  • Game asset creators working with legacy engines
  • AR / VR pipelines that require Collada
  • Architectural visualization teams
  • Cross-software exchange workflows
  • Academic and technical submissions

If DAE is part of your delivery format, DaeXport fits naturally into your pipeline.


Technical Overview

  • Blender 3.0 and above (including 5+)
  • Custom Collada exporter independent of the removed default exporter
  • Texture sizes up to 8192
  • Cycles-based baking
  • Windows, macOS, Linux
  • Fully non-destructive workflow

DaeXport does one job — exporting clean, optimized DAE files — and it does it in a single click.

Fast in. Clean out.
