>> Where might I find information on the composition of .3DS and .MLI binary files? << Autodesk makes the 3D Studio Files Toolkit that provides C libraries for reading and writing the file formats as well as complete (or nearly so) documentation of the file format. The cost of the toolkit is $250 US. That may sound like a lot of money, but it will save you the weeks of work it takes to write a good file. There are two files in the Software Dev. Kits library (lib 10) that have some more information about the kit: FTK3-C.ZIP and FTK2_R.ME. -Grant Blaha [ADESK]
