Here's a suggested update to the 3ds loader that gets the colour information. Changes are in bold.

You have to manually set the ambient value (e.g. to black) because the default ambient value makes the object completely white. The 3ds loader doesn't currently bring in the ambient values.

We need normals to be read in for those nice curved surfaces.
