I'm not sure what the solution is for exporting with Blender, but you might look into Face "Normals". The Normal information tells which direction the face is rendered from. FYI: I believe that the normal information comes from how the 3 XYZ vertices are stored in the file. If they are stored in a clockwise rotation, they will face one way, while counter-clockwise will face the other way.

I found: http://www.blender.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18691&sid=53c31b5ce8fc37bd8b292de20b848a73

Maybe that will help. Good luck!

Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

easiest is to look over the model before exporting using display face normals:

and then flip selected faces with w key -> flip normals
