Digital Asset Exchange (.dae)
The DAE file extension stands for Digital Asset Exchange, a format used for exchanging 3D digital assets between various graphics programs. Developed by Sony and now managed by the Khronos Group, DAE files are based on the COLLADA XML schema and are widely supported by software like Autodesk Maya, Blender, and Adobe Photoshop. This format facilitates interoperability among different 3D modeling and animation tools, making it a standard in the industry.
