I use lightwave, so you could do the same as me if you convert from 3ds to lwo.
I convert my lwo to md2 quake objects using a version of qdata
Next I run the tool for the ndsutils to convert md2 into bins.
and there you are.

I really don't know where the texture goes, but there are 2 options available (you could think of it yourself and try)
1. The textures are included to the .bin
2. Textures are still seperated like with an .lwo file
hope it helps ;)

There are enough 3th party exporting plugins that let you convert from 3ds to lwo.

Is it a certain bin file type

'bin' is not a file format, it just means 'binary data'. In this case, it means a NDS-specific display-list. Currently it seems that the only usable converter out there is the md2 converter, so you need to get your data into .md2 format and then run this converter on it.

I find the best and most versitile way to get graphics like this is use deep exploration and 3DSMax 6.
Using that program you can output to vertex c source and so have greater control than using the sometimes black box that binary file can sometimes be.
It's meant for use with open gl but can usually eassily modified for use with most 3D Hardware with relative ease. You will need the texturures to be in the same folder when you export.
Also another advantage is it give the deffuse, ambient and specular light values.

is this still the only way to go with the converters out there? (using md2 format) 3ds -> lwo -> md2 => bin
thanks

Excuse me for the double posting,
If i choose to create a .bin from the md2 converting tool, how do i access the .bin from ds code to load the 3d object's properties?. Any help is appreciated.

There are several ways. One involves bin2s. Another involves a GBFS file appended to the ds.gba file (but won't work on GBA Movie Player or FlashMe+WMB). Another involves reading the file system through GBA Movie Player (but won't work on a GBA flash cart or FlashMe+WMB).

Would the bin2s way work with WMB?

The bin2s way always works, but you're limited to 4 MB for everything.
