Is it a static (non-animated) mesh? If so the standard command LoadMesh works. You may need to scale the mesh/entity to bring it into camera view if it's massive. Or scale it down in 3ds (probably better). obj=LoadMesh("filename.3ds") PositionEntity obj,0,0,5 ; move away from camera ... or whatever

Just make sure the mesh and all of it's tectures are in the folder with the code/executable you plan to be running.

The mesh I am trying to load is a from the geometric models in the blitz 3d help files that came with blitz, called btadpole.3ds. It would be most helpful to see an examle of how to call one of the suplied models into code. Also I do not have studio max....yet. i am using milkshape only. I do put all the files in one folder.
