export baked texture to 3ds

[gdamaso88]

I'm looking export a baked texture model to a 3ds file, but when I export it the 3ds file does not retain the texture and comes in as just black. I can see the baked texture fine in the viewport when I make the baked texture material visible in the viewport prior to exporting the 3ds file. Can I export baked textures with the 3ds file? If so, I appreciate any direction. Thanks!!!
