Hold on mate. You want to make a game, i wouldn't worry about the 3d stuff quite yet. What kind of games do you want to make? Does Vb and Delphi suit those games?

Decide these first and go from there.

yeah, D-SIPL might be right, but you can use 3ds max with 3d Game studio, with a plug-in. don't know to much about it, but might want to check it out. just popping that in.

EDIT: Oh, yeah. Welcome to Christian Coders!

You might can go to www.wotsit.org and get the format you want! I know they have some file formats for 3DS and you should be able to decipher it to then implement the code into your program to read the file format.

Don't have an exact adress, but there are two component suits to make game development easier in Delphi.

Do a search on "Delphi Games Creator" and "DelphiX"...
It's possible that oen of those have components for reading the files you want... I think DGC is dead but it's at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Pines/3805/
info about DelphiX can be found at
http://www.yks.ne.jp/~hori/DelphiX-e.html
http://turbo.gamedev.net/delphix.asp

Those pages are rather old, and I'm sure there are newer ones up, that's why i suggested a search on the net..

Good luck!
