Thanks! I did use the built-in exporter (I assume that's the official one).
That'd be great if you post a link there. How to improve the exporter, I would
suggest making the

1) make the materials a separate *.mat file
2) place the color definition of the mesh also in the external *.mat file

These two would help greatly with speeding up tweaking materials manually
because the exported file from this scene is over 500 MB and it takes a while to
find specific areas in the file to change and also to write out the file.
