X3DS is a command-line tool which converts 3DStudio (3DS) model files to a more easily readable format for quick-loading into demos and 3D engines. It reads Mesh data, and writes out Name, Vertex, Face and Normal info. It also optimises the mesh by removing duplicate vertices & faces as well as null faces. The output file format is documented in the textfiles within the archive. Standard C++ source included. Tested with MingW32 and DJGPP. Win32 executable + Example + Source + Documentation provided.
