Exporting

When you are ready to export an image, vector, video or 3D file out of Valence 3D, tap on the Export Options button located near the bottom right corner of the screen. After you tap the Export Options button, the Export Options modal sheet will pop up. Select an option from the sheet and you'll be presented with other specialized sheets for exporting the format you have selected.
