Gee, my renderer plugin also includes import for .obj and .3ds meshes. 
For the 3DS files it also translates the textures and attaches them to
the appropriate pieces (you can then go edit the parameters of the
textures if you don't like what you got).  Even if you never use the
rendering functions, the importers are there.

As far as .raw files go, Moray supports that internally - click the raw
object button, select the .raw file and you are all set.
