Nick,
I also made a 3DS loader that reads the animation, but be aware that 3DS
does not support morphing. The only type of animation that is supported
are TCB (tension-continuity-bias) controller animations. If you animate
something without using TCB, it will automatically change it to TCB. As
for morphing, the morphed object will be stored out in the state of the
currently selected frame.
