Can Blender export to the COLLADA format?
I tried going to File → Export
, but COLLADA was not an option.
I'm using Blender 2.66.1 on Ubuntu 13.04.

I use Blender builds from the irie PPA, and I have it by default:
ppa:irie/blender
(sudo add-apt-repository ppa:irie/blender
)sudo apt-get update
)blender
(this package is 2.6x from git) (sudo apt-get install blender
)More info: https://askubuntu.com/questions/169542/how-do-i-install-the-latest-blender-3d-builds-from-a-ppa
Collada support is enabled and available in these builds.
Your build probably wasn't compiled with COLLADA support, otherwise it should be there.
Try grabbing a build from here
and make sure it has WITH_OPENCOLLADA ON
or make sure you download an official release from the official site.
Collada file export should come with Blender 2.66a. However, if it isn't installed, there are a number of external plug-ins you can use to get full-featured Collada compatibility.
The best one of these you can download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/colladablender/.
If that doesn't work for you, you can always try exporting to one of the other file type options, and then using an external program to import/convert into a Collada file.
