Incomplete, initial work on a 3DS Max file reader for java, ported from Lib3ds. This work is oriented to JO GL vertex arrays.

FV3DS gets its name from FV GL float arrays. See the Mesh fvVertices and fvNormals methods.

The Reader passes a node in the Chunk stack, permitting unknown reads to be skipped by default.

The Model loads a 3ds structure into the java heap from a nio memory mapped file.

Run

 java -jar fv3ds.jar

for Dump.

Current work proceeds in the Fv3 package.
