Well, the 3ds file might contain more than just one object. Giving the 
objects new names while they are loaded is currently not possible, you 
could only group them under a common parent (passing the keyword 
argument "parent" to the load() function).
But intersectRay() has to be called directly on the geom, so you can't 
use the parent for that.

But instead of obtaining the objects by name, you can also iterate over 
the scene (using scene.walkWorld(), for example) and check which object 
is a TriMesh and then shoot your rays on those objects.
