Well, the workaround is quite simple. Sun's .OBJ loader works pretty
fine (though i haven't used it very often). So, convert 3DS files into
obj format (or LightWave, as far as i remember Sun supports this format
either). Moreover, as i heard, u can access named objects of 3D model by
their names. So, this should work. The only problem is that if model
uses some external texture files (i'm no good 3D designer, so i even
don't know if such 3D format actually exists. Sun's loader has support
for this, at least), default .obj loader would work incorrectly when
model is loaded via URL due to the bug in this loader i wrote about
recently (Base url is set incorrectly there).
Hope this would ease your life a bit,
vladimir
