Does anyone know if you can import animated 3ds files animated in Blender?

I guess it depends on what kind of animation you're doing. This thread covers a similar topic and may be helpful.

.3ds files only support vertex animation so you can't use boned animations made with armatures. I think, in the distant past I did vertex animation with Blender and exported .3ds files for use with illricht.

Today though, I'd advise you to use proper armatures for boned animation and export from Blender as .b3d and use something like Ultimate Unwrap to convert to .3ds if you must.
