Seconded. I particularly like the cartoony renderering, presumably done by
increasing OpenGL's line width and not using lighting? Solve all your
mismatching normal problems by not using them! Genius

I've played around with available 3DS importers/exporters for other projects
and usually ended up rolling my own (it's not too hard to do a simple export)
However, lib3ds seems to be the best of the bunch and is something I wish I'd
found 2 years ago. http://lib3ds.sourceforge.net/

I use a very nice view adjuster called agviewer. Polar Rotations, Flying
mode, zooming panning, etc. Why boggle your mind thinking about gimble
lock (and friends) when Philip Winston has done the hard work already?
Google for it and you get two files agviewer.h agviewer.c.
Here's one http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~lok/teaching/comp136/basic/agviewer.cpp
Send it mouse/keyboard events and it basically jiggers your model view matrix
just before you do your drawing. Simple quick and easy. It's written for glut,
but it's v easy to hack into working on other things. I've done it for X11
Good Luck
