Converting LDraw files to 3D-Studio files?

Is it possible at all to convert LDraw files to 3D-Studio files?
I have used 3D-studio for some time (and rendered animations and still
pictures with POV-Ray), and I would like to make the animation in 3D-Studio
since I am most familar with the functions in this program.

And I hope there is a new version of converter from 3DS-files to POV-Ray
since I got a new version of POV-Ray now, and it seems that the converter
that I have now does not take the animation correctly.... I dont know why,
but the rotation is always wrong when converting...


Regards
Øyvind Steinnes

Leocad will load Ldraw files and export 3Ds files.

Which converter are you using?

I use dat2dxf and import the converted dxf file via the file > import menu into
3ds.

hope it helps,
