AAAAAHHHH!!!!!!
This is realy bugging me, have been trying for about 3 hours now.
3DS, is not good at all on fine detailed models. obj style 7000 poly models turn to 14000.
Which is going to be depressingly boring and time consuming to fix and then get back to work on it.
The untriangulate does not go the way I want it to.
And All the other export options triangulate.
I've also tried saveing as an obj. from the modelling room, while in animation mode. 
Still reverts back to start position.
Any ideas?
