is there any reason not to use VRML?  seems a lot more portable than
3ds...  if you can find a loader for it, it might be a better option.
3ds definately has an exporter.  plus vrml is ascii, so you could hand
tweek things if needed (like write a perl script to filter out nodes,
etc...)...

there might be something special in 3ds format that you'd want, i'm not
sure if vrml has animation, it might.
