[Algorithms] 3DS woes.

[Leigh M. <lei...@ro...>]

  Sorry if OT but I have spent way too long on this 3ds exporter thing.

  I wrote some code to read a 3ds file and things work for the most part.  I
have the basic models and texture mapping working right but somethings
wacked.  I have a  house.3ds file that is basicly a box and roof but the
roof never lands on top of the house.  If I join the roof and box then it
works ok.  I do know that there is a local matrix in the file but using it
every which way but loose doesn't help.  The NVidia toolkit viewer also
doesn't show the roof right.  Is this a common thing?  I also looked into a
MAX plugin but there doesn't seem to be much docs on this.

  Any help on getting a model out of MAX would be much appreciated and I can
give my semi-broken code out if it helps fix it.
