Hi, for 3ds-files there is lib3ds at sourceforge.net The source includes a sample viewer using OpenGL. For animated models I use cal3d (can be found on sf.net too). I think NeHe has a tutorial on using MS3D files, so it shouldn't be that hard. If you need something with lots of features, go with Collada. They have several OpenGL viewers to show the usage.
