I'd like to see a utility whereby a user can drag and drop a 3d model file into it and the utility will tell how many vertices and polygons are on the model. It must work with multiple formats, 3ds, max, rwx, obj, etc.

There is one program out there called VP Grabber from a company called www.pelican3d.com located on download.com but it only works for rwx files and since rwx is nearly obsolete, it's not the best choice.
