dont know if your gonna be able to see it or dl it, but its in DAE format, and i have tried converters, to no avail, is there a simple way to get it to 3ds format? or does this involve money....

Have you tried the trial version of Sketchup Pro?

An import script for Blender is available for Collada's dae format. Scripts are also available to export 3DS and CMOD format. Blender is free. The import and export scripts are available separately. I've never tried them.
