3ds / model converter issue?

[pculliton]

Hello all.  I'm attempting to convert a 3ds model to TVM using the converter included in the SDK package.  I wasn't able to consistently generate a file using the GUI so I switched to the command line.

Now - I'm getting TVMs (and the converter reports the number of faces, etc., correctly), but when I load them up in the model viewer all I see is a large white cube.  Is this a problem with the converter, or should my art team be doing something differently?

Thanks.
