Many may not have tried this, but I had good results when importing 3ds
objects.
Try Ronnie Smith's 3ds plug-in as it imports with textures very well.

Subject: Re: UV and geometry unwrapping
I've done a lot of UV mapping for my VRML city (not yet finished).
The easiest way I could find was creating different parallel maps for the
object.
Arjo.
Anyone know a good .lwo to .VRML converter that is freeware ?
Kind of unrelated , but I was trying the VRML demo-plugin and
noticed that all objects created are SDS type , which didn't make
sense to me considering the texturing problems with SDS .
However , I imported a VRML scene out of the object converter
program '3D Exploration' (demo) and it imported with correct
textures applied .
Good news since all other attempts to import .obj or .3ds with
textures failed in RS3D (spent the afternoon trying) . The .LWO
scene imported fine into 3D Explorer with textures displayed
properly but no success with exporting the converted .3ds/.obj
scene into RS3D with textures showing from 3D Exploration .

Also , one VRML scene I had included a camera for every frame .
This also imported fine into 3D Explorer but the RS3D VRML demo
importer just hiccuped on it with no results .
Thanks
