It's one thing to translate 3DS's triangles to RIB polygons, and it's another
to write a RenderMan shader that can reproduce all the material and texture
mapping properties of 3DS. So far, every 3DS to RIB translator I've seen,
including my own, only translates the polygons. Even still, that's helpful if
you simply want to move the models to a RIB editor and re-apply other shaders
there…
