      You can do it in SU, if yu have th pro version. Just go file->export->3ds

      If you havent got the pro version, i dont mind converting it for you (if the file isnt too big etc.), just PM me.

      If your looking for something more long term i you can export your model as a google earth 4 file from SU, rename it to .zip and open it up to find a .dae file (in the models folder.) You can then open this up in blender (its free) and save it in a huge variety of formats, including 3ds.

      remus, i'm trying to use this method, but blender doesn't open the dae file.
      ❓

          so i don't know how to select the file...

              OK, so heres the full run through.

              First you need to download and install python from here: http://www.python.org/download/

              Then you need to download the script form here: http://www.koders.com/python/fid66197220E55556A873266D86CF9F78DCBCD2159F.aspx (link in the top left hand corner.) Once youve done that just whack the script in the blender plugins folder and your off.

                    If you download a blender 2.5 test build from here: http://www.graphicall.org/builds/ it has .3ds export built in.
