But .3DS is a Max format? Try another format. There is OBJ and LWO as well.

You do know about http://www.maxplugins.de/ right?

Even if you can not get .3DS to work, you may be able to use another format and simply download the plug-in that will read the file in 3DSMax.

actually i’ve checked before there is no 3ds max plugin for this an also i get pretty much the same errors with obj an the other formats i dunno if it could be a problem with my scripts or something but i have 2 different blender versions 2.49b an 2.5 alpha 0 which they say is required to use the import script an i’ve copied my 2.49b scripts in to 2.5 alpha 0 an didnt fix anything o.o

I just tried exporting the default cube using Blender 2.5 r31068 and it worked fine. Then I re-imported that .3DS file into Blender,no problem.

Don’t bother with that 2.5 alpha. Hundreds of bugs have already been fixed. Visit www.graphicall.org and pull down the latest version of Blender 2.5 and try it again.
