I am not to worried about the speed, I just wanted to grab a model and see what will be required to make them usable from 3ds format. I am not an artist, nor a modeler, so I will most likely have someone make them, or else buy some..but most likely pay to have someone make em later down the road...all this is so I get the hang of what all has to be done concerning models in 3ds format and 3dgs....trying what you said now...will get back with ya
