Data-format for models

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

Hi,

i wasnt sure where to put this, so i went here.
Im currently searching for a data-format to save my models.
It must meet the following requirements:

  1. It must support animations.
  2. It must be free. (Read: No copyright restrictions aka im allowed to use it for my programs)
  3. I must be able to export to it from some modelling-program (like blender).

Do you have any recommendations on what i may use?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Fox.
