A solution would be to have the modeller load export filters dynamically
and make it real easy to create them. I made a brutally simple height-map
editor just to test out some OpenGL stuff, and made it easy to create
export-filters. I have filters for simple triangles, normalized triangles
and so on, and sooner or later I learn enough about textures in order to
also export some kind of texture coordinates.

Or something.... :-)
