hello!!! I am making a new 3D Engine.I want to load 3DS Files for rendering.I was searching over the web to find a tutorial/Importer for 3DS files. All the 3DS Importers I found it was - I think - based on the 3DS Loader at www.gametutorials.com. And all of them have I strange thing.Somewere in the code checks the version of 3DSMAX that has create the object. And if the version is bigger than 3 then gives a warning.Why this happen? Were I can find a Loader that Loads 3DS files created with 3DSMAX 5.1? thank you!! bye!!!

I''ve been having this issue too, 3DS loaders that are good are hard to come by, I used some source from different places, but some of it was from a 3ds loader in the GD Showcase, thats an OK one. If you find anything great let me know.
