Instructions for adding your product's COLLADA extensions to the extension directory
  • These instructions use the following variable names:
    • yourcompanyname (preferably simplified/common version; for example, "Sony", not "Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc."). Can be multiple words.
    • yourproductname. Can be multiple words.
    • profilename used in profile name="..." (often--but not always-the product name)
    • Details about your <technique profile="..."> and <extra><technique profile=..."> extensions

Summary:

You'll do the following:

Detailed instructions:

  1. In List of extensions by company, add a table row using this text (left-justified) (if you have extensions for camera and image) :
         |- valign="top"
    | [[yourcompanyname yourproductname extensions]] || profilename ||
    *<camera>
    *<image>
    (See #Example output of Extensions by company addition.)
  2. Click the company/product link you just created, add this text (left-justified) to the new article, and save it (assuming you provide <camera> and <image> extensions):
         {{extensions}}
    mycompanyname provides extensions for the following elements :
    * [[camera yourproductname extension]]
    * [[image yourproductname extension]]
  3. Click each of those element-based links to create separate articles for each extension:
    • Put the following at the top of each article (left-justified):
         {{extensions
    | company = yourcompanyname
    | product = yourproductname }}
  4. In List of extensions by profile name, add one table row with your info. (See #Example output of Extensions by profile name addition.)
  5. In List of extensions by element, add a table row for each element that you support (using the same element-based links as above). (See #Example output of Extensions by element addition.)
