You have three options at least:

  1. Read it as a usual 3ds file.
  2. Check google for free source code.
  3. See wotsit.org for 3ds file description.

(and you may use libjpg for the jpeg files…)

Find docs about the 3ds hierachy and chunks file. Have a look at Clax at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Bay/6525/

For Jpeg, use the libjpeg.

DigiBen’s got it all covered:
