Hi Simon,

I suspect our 3ds loader is not very up-to-date and may not
support recent 3DMax models. I never looked inside the 3ds
loader code, but the answer to your problems are likely to be
buried in such code.

You may have better luck converting your data to some other
format such as .flt or .iv, which performer should handle better.

Regards,
Paolo
