[ODE] integration with cal3d?

[Sazzad Karim]

I don't think .3ds has any IK (bone,joints) information of a mesh! Cal3D 
uses its own exporters and plugin to export the IK data. .3ds (RIP 1997)  is 
to old to cut it. I use it though for static meshes :). For your information 
you can find a .3ds import code in www.gametutorials.com site (and an 
advanced one in Code Dump section).
