 Current blast extensions:
+* ExtAssetUtils - NvBlastAsset utility functions. Add world bonds, merge assets, and transform geometric data. 
 * ExtAuthoring - a set of geometric tools which can split a mesh hierarchically and create a Blast asset, along with collision geometry and chunk graphics meshes in a separate files.
 * ExtConverterLL - a data format converter for low-level assets and actor families.  This simple converter uses user-defined conversion functions.
 * ExtImport - provides functions to import an APEX Destructible Asset to create a Blast asset.
-* ExtPhysX - a physics manager using PhysX which keeps PxActors and PxJoints updated in a user-supplied PxScene.  It handles impact damage (through the contact callback), includes a stress solver, and provides a listener that enables multiple clients to keep their state synchronized.
-* ExtSerialization and ExtSerializationLL - serialization extensions for Tk and the low-level, which uses Cap'n Proto to provide robust serialization across different platforms.
+* ExtExporter - standard mesh and collision writer tools in fbx, obj, and json formats. 
+* ExtPhysX - a physics manager using PhysX which keeps PxActors and PxJoints updated in a user-supplied PxScene.  It handles impact damage (through the contact callback), includes a stress solver wrapper, and provides a listener that enables multiple clients to keep their state synchronized.
+* ExtSerialization, ExtTkSerialization, ExtPxSerialization - serialization extensions for low-level, Tk and Px layers. Uses Cap'n Proto to provide robust serialization across different platforms.
 * ExtShaders - sample damage shaders to pass to both the low-level and Tk actor damage functions.
+* ExtStress - a toolkit for performing stress calculations on low-evel Blast actors, using a minimal API to assign masses and apply forces. Does not use any external physics library.
