My problems with 3ds importing were solved afther installing the final
version of Performer 2.0 (We had a beta release with a version number 7
lower than the final release)

I still have a problem with textures. In de 3ds files are references to
.tif and .gif files but they won't load. I tried to convert them to .rgb
but that didn't work either. For now I have to manualy edit the 3ds file
to get correct texture filenames.
