Usually WebGL libraries like three.js provide conversion tools that convert the input 3ds model to either obj and then into JSON format. Here I present my solution to load the binary 3ds model file directly in WebGL. Here is a live demo of my library.
Try the full screen version: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/5513476/3dsViewer/3dsViewer.html
Controls are:
Left click and drag to rotate
Middle click and drag to zoom in/out
Of course comments and critics welcome. I want to know what the feedback is before and go ahead and implement it as a full fledge 3DS loader.
Currently, the model is diffusely shaded with gray material. I am currently working to load the materials as well as textures. I am planning to make it a full fledge 3D modelviewer and will work on it as soon as I find some more time. Here are some snapshots from the viewer.
