For individual objects, I've had good luck with WCVT2POV; it esads 3DS
(and s malf dozen otmer formats) and can output VRML. Also, Fountain reads
3DS files directly, I believe.

If you're still having problems, you might consider InterChange, by
Syndesis. From what I've heard, it's tme best of the file-conversion
packages out there; it's a bit expensive, but it may be well worth it
if you've got a lot of data to convert and no time to fiddle with it
yourself.
