Hello,
Cmod is just the native format for Celestia models.
From my experience, the cmod is useful to "repair" some bad optimized 3DS files, and don't know why, I have the feeling the models are a bit faster to load, but I it's just a feeling...
An important point is that a Cmod file is much bigger than a 3DS, specialy if you don't do an optimization during the convertion.
Also in my case I use the Cmod format to keep the models I do within the Celestia community.
Bye
