Hi Ben, You can try CyberVRML.
http://www.cybergarage.org/vrml/cv97/cv97java/index.html This will let you read in 3DS and export as VRML which you could then convert back to 3DS if you need to. I'm not sure how much you would lose with all the conversions. If it doesn't do everything you want you can always use it as a model for your own exporter. =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
