AFAIK, none of the existing 3DS loaders support animations. I believe
JohnW is going to offer that as an option in the commercial version of
his loader (at least he was talking about it some time ago).
For VRML, the Sun loader and NCSA loaders handle most of the simple
animations that you are likely to need (ie all the interpolator node
types are supported). The latest version of the Xj3D loader has
supported animations almost from the start so there should be no
problems here at all. In all of these loaders, you need to make sure you
set the flag LOAD_BEHAVIORS. If you do not set this flag, all you get is
static geometry. As animations are typically implmented as a behaviour
(technically Xj3D does not, but close enough...) so this flag is needed
to make them work.
