[vtkusers] 3ds importer

[Gopalakrishnan, Gowri]

Hello 

I am having problems with rendering 3ds files. I can view my file cyl.3ds in
every other viewer and it looks fine.
but when i render it in vtk it comes out in black colour. I see a black
cylinder. 
Has anyone any experience . Is there anything special I have to do.
I have included my file, just in case someone can help me. <<cyl.3ds>> 

Regards
Gowri
