Exactly, a 3ds animation to vrml create a bunch of files accordingly to the keyframe of the animation. I reconstruct the bones structure from the information in the first vrml file. After that I search in the other files only the information about the mouvement of the bones.
The rest of the job is to attach skin. I know the information is not in the VRML files but I dont know if 3ds export that information in another format (ex: ascii file)? Is there any other option when you export the animation to vrml file (like export bones and mesh)??
Thanks

Agreed. VRML does not support skinning, and does not interpolate between keyframes either, both of which make it unsuitable for video game content.
If you're interested in creating a plugin for 3DS Max that can export skins, you might want to look in to porting the plugin I've created for Maya at http://www.kitfox.com/salamander/3d/salamander3d.html.
