I would be interested in making them 3.x compatible.   Where are they?  I've
wanted .3ds support for a while...

"Mallett" :-)
My .obj loader is actually a version of
http://www.pygame.org/wiki/OBJFileLoader?parent=CookBook, which is
excellent, tweaked to return the actual data (for VBOs, texture object
modification, etc.) and provide stuff like signed tangents for various
effects.  Likewise cannibalizing existing .3ds code would be nice...  I also
have a loader for .raw objects, but that was far simpler.  Like a LOT
simpler.  I can help you with getting stuff set up if that's what you were
asking (I didn't receive the original email, so....)
