3ds doesn't support animations. I would try to export to .x, .b3d, or .ms3d.

As adler1337 said: .x, .b3d .ms3d. You can't go wrong with these formats as long as you are doing skeletal animation. If you plan on doing vertex based animation, you may wanna take a look at .md2 and .md3

Ok, thanks.

These formats (.x, .b3d .ms3d) accept keyframe animation?

What the best format for keyframe animation and high qualit model ?

I usually use .ms3d, but that doesn't mean the other file types are not as good. From my experience they are all roughly the same.

Thanks for response.

And it accept keyframe animation (ms3d)?

I can define the frameloop (start, end)?

Rarely will models have limitations on polygons, it's usually the engine that loads them. So with any of those you can create detailed models.
