It's from that archive that fibanocci posted, I tried several from it... maybe they are the problem?
For example, I opened bell3.3ds in the Thief II obj folder.
Correction: "Imported" to be specific.

The 3ds file might be corrupt. If you converted a Thief bin file, try another. Some objects from the Enhancement Pack are very high poly, and the conversion tools might generate a 3ds file, but it will not be a proper one. Crates (wcratec.bin) are simple enough, so try that.

I couldn't find that specific crate, so I tried a banner and had the same result. I'll give it a try with a fan made object.

I have to learn how to convert a .bin with DEOCI; I'm having trouble coming up with a .3ds file to experiment with.
Lol, it's like the woman who swallowed the horse at this point; I have to keep coming up with ways to convert one thing to another in the hopes that it will solve one problem but only leads to another. :tsktsk:
Thanks for the help, but I'm feeling hopeless on this one. I don't want to waste anyone's time with this.

I must be a masochist because I just can't stop bashing my head on this problem. I just really want to make objects.
I got DEOCI ((
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=141601) from here) up and running, but when I click on convert, the program tells me that BintoE "Didn't work. Cannot continue". I'm not sure if Eto3ds works because it just stops trying to convert at that point. I got those .exe files in the "Free the Objects kit located (
http://www.angelfire.com/games4/shadowspawn/Tools.html) here.
Are they simply outdated and should I have downloaded them elsewhere?
If I could just convert the .bin to a .3ds then I could check to see if I can open it in Anim8or.

The conversion tools are fine.
What happens if you use a .bin file from Thief2\RES\obj.crf (open with Winzip or 7zip etc)?

You probably have a bad Anim8or install. I use Import all the time with .3ds and .obj files, no problems. Download the latest version of the Anim8or program in the file animv098.zip (

That was the problem, I installed the version you pointed me to. I'm not sure why, but I had v90c :confused:
Anyways, everything appears to be working now. Thank you all so very much for your help! Hopefully now I'll get to make some awesome objects for my Fallout style mission.
