Are you shrinking it to 100% normal figure size on import? If not, do that. Michael is but a flea on a flea to the typical .3ds object. It may be loading and just be too big to see. Poser 4 without ProPack is perfectly able to import .3ds files. Beatyoursoul: it's supposed to take care of the 5+ polys on import. Recommendation: import scaling to 100% of regular figure size, then scale it until it looks right and export it as a Wavefront OBJect.
