I converted some Spelljammer ship .mdl models to both .obj and .3ds. Had some trouble until I realized their .tga textures had to be converted to .png/.jpg (I presume anyway, which also meant reassigning the texture materials within a 3d modeling program)

The model assignments still want stay in AS3, though. It always reverts back to default.3ds.
