I am trying to load animated *.3ds file and run it's animation:

mesh = smgr->getMesh("TMP.3DS");
	p1 = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(mesh);
	p1->setPosition(core::vector3df(0,0,0));
	scene::ISceneNode* p1_target = smgr->addEmptySceneNode(p1);
	p1_target->setPosition(core::vector3df(1,0,0));

	p1->setMaterialFlag(video::EMF_LIGHTING, false);
	p1->setFrameLoop(0,5); //this should run animation
	p1->setAnimationSpeed(30);
	p1->setMaterialTexture(0, driver->getTexture("tex.bmp"));

But animation is not running. Why?

you cant export animation in 3ds format.
try .x or .md2

As far as I know the 3DS file format doesnt contain animation data, or something like that

Yes it does: 3ds file can contain animation. Before 3ds max 3ds was default Autodesk's format, and in those days only way to store animation was to store it in 3ds format. You can try now: make animation in max and exporrt file as 3ds. Then open file again to see if it contains animation, it's simple as that
