I need a tool that changes a boned animated 3ds mesh into a b3d mesh. thanks

Fragmotion http://www.fragmosoft.com Fully working demo. I haven't tried it with importing .3ds files but as it's free to download and try give it a go. I use it for importing boned DirectX8 animated files from Blender to export as .b3d.

This will not work for loading the boned animation from a 3ds file.

I didn't know there is sonethin like boned 3ds. One thing is or sure, 3dsMax's inconsistent and non-standartized 3ds implementations are a nightmare for every 3rd party import module. The only 3ds that is supported widely is DX7 compilant (rotate/move/scale animated) 3ds, without bones. You maybe better use an other format.

I never heard of boned 3ds, I thought animation was limited to transforms(rotate/move/scale). Your best bet for converting these 3ds models would be probably 3DSmax itself with B3Dpipeline plugin for exporting.

Or maybe UltimateUnwrap3D can convert it.
