3ds Importer

This script imports a 3ds file and the materials into Blender for editing.

Loader is based on 3ds loader from www.gametutorials.com (Thanks DigiBen).

0.996 by Mario Lapin (mario.lapin@gmail.com) 13/04/200 <br>
 - Implemented workaround to correct association between name, geometry and materials of
   imported meshes.

   Without this patch, version 0.995 of this importer would associate to each mesh object the
   geometry and the materials of the previously parsed mesh object. By so, the name of the
   first mesh object would be thrown away, and the name of the last mesh object would be
   automatically merged with a '.001' at the end. No object would desappear, however object's
   names and materials would be completely jumbled.

0.995 by Campbell Barton<br>
- workaround for buggy mesh vert delete
- minor tweaks

0.99 by Bob Holcomb<br>
- added support for floating point color values that previously broke on import.

0.98 by Campbell Barton<br>
- import faces and verts to lists instead of a mesh, convert to a mesh later
- use new index mapping feature of mesh to re-map faces that were not added.

0.97 by Campbell Barton<br>
- Strip material names of spaces
- Added import as instance to import the 3ds into its own
  scene and add a group instance to the current scene
- New option to scale down imported objects so they are within a limited bounding area.

0.96 by Campbell Barton<br>
- Added workaround for bug in setting UV's for Zero vert index UV faces.
- Removed unique name function, let blender make the names unique.

0.95 by Campbell Barton<br>
- Removed workarounds for Blender 2.41
- Mesh objects split by material- many 3ds objects used more then 16 per mesh.
- Removed a lot of unneeded variable creation.

0.94 by Campbell Barton<br>
- Face import tested to be about overall 16x speedup over 0.93.
- Material importing speedup.
- Tested with more models.
- Support some corrupt models.

0.93 by Campbell Barton<br>
- Tested with 400 3ds files from turbosquid and samples.
- Tactfully ignore faces that used the same verts twice.
- Rollback to 0.83 sloppy un-reorganized code, this broke UV coord loading.
- Converted from NMesh to Mesh.
- Faster and cleaner new names.
- Use external comprehensive image loader.
- Re intergrated 0.92 and 0.9 changes
- Fixes for 2.41 compat.
- Non textured faces do not use a texture flag.

0.92<br>
- Added support for diffuse, alpha, spec, bump maps in a single material

0.9<br>
- Reorganized code into object/material block functions<br>
- Use of Matrix() to copy matrix data<br>
- added support for material transparency<br>

0.83 2005-08-07: Campell Barton
-  Aggressive image finding and case insensitivy for posisx systems.

0.82a 2005-07-22
- image texture loading (both for face uv and renderer)

0.82 - image texture loading (for face uv)

0.81a (fork- not 0.9) Campbell Barton 2005-06-08
- Simplified import code
- Never overwrite data
- Faster list handling
- Leaves import selected

0.81 Damien McGinnes 2005-01-09
- handle missing images better

0.8 Damien McGinnes 2005-01-08
- copies sticky UV coords to face ones
- handles images better
- Recommend that you run 'RemoveDoubles' on each imported mesh after using this script
