ib3ds is a free ANSI-C library for working with the popular "3ds" 3D model
format.

Supported platforms include GNU (autoconf, automake, libtool, make, GCC) on Unix
and Cygwin, and MS Visual C++ 6.0. lib3ds loads and saves Atmosphere settings,
Background settings, Shadow map settings, Viewport setting, Materials, Cameras,
Lights, Meshes, Hierarchy, Animation keyframes. It also contains useful matrix,
vector and quaternion mathematics tools. lib3ds usually integrates well with
OpenGL. In addition, some diagnostic and conversion tools are included.
