Import as .obj, it's far more better than .3ds. I guess you use the Habware plugin to import obj-files, otherwise I suggest you get it. Use the scale-option, that way you won't need to resize the object. Don't use the MeshSmooth. Instead, select your object, get into submode, select vertex. Then select all the vertexes (sp?) Scroll down in the menu to the right, select one smoothgroup and voila, this should smooth the object enough to get better results than in poser. Otherwise, redo this again with another smooth-group. Hope this helps you out. =)
