The 3ds File Toolkit has been released to the public by Kinetix (incl.
full sources). Since it's all ANSI C it's easily portable. I already
made a Makefile for that for both Linux and DJGPP, which I will make
available on my homepage at the end of this week. As far as the other
formats are concerned, you could either check www.viewpoint.com which
hosts a public FTP-Server with a plethora of models, tools, and format
specifications or you could purchase Keith Rule's (the author of the
converters wcvt2pov and Crossroads) book '3d Graphic File Formats: A
Proggramer's Reference' in which he gives detailed explanation of the
file formats and his source code to Crossroads.
Bye, Alex
