Before exporting your Blender models, its is recommended that you clean the buffers of any unneeded `Action`, `Material`, `Texture` or `UV Image`. This is a straight forward process that only takes a few minutes. Failure to do so can lead you into a morass of problems, like having more than one AnimControl, duplicate materials and textures, wasted space from worthless images, just to mention a few potential troubles.
