Copy
Reader3ds newReader3ds;
newReader3ds = new Reader3ds();
newReader3ds.ReadFile("c:\\models\\simple_animation.3ds");

for (int frameNo=0; frameNo<newReader3ds.FramesCount; frameNo++)
{
    newReader3ds.GetFrame(frameNo, Viewport1);
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(250); // 4 frames per second
}
