Would be very nice if it was possible to convert .s3o (Spring format) to .3dm.

Is it possible?

I don't know how Spring models are stored, but it should be possible to get at least the geometry and textures

we just need someone to look at it, so it'll wait a bit

Not a problem, just post a ticket about it and it will be done, when opportunity comes.

I've looked at TA Spring S3O code, this format is very similar to 3DO, it only adds support for UV mapping and up to 2 textures per unit (3DM supports up to 8 ) and various rendering methods (GL_TRIANGLES, GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP and GL_QUADS). So this shouldn't be too much work to implement ... except maybe for textures since they aren't included in those files and I didn't look at how they're stored.

Good news

And a question - 3DMeditor support shaders. Does current version of TA3D support shaders as well?

3DMEditor and TA3D shares the modules that handle 3D objects and load 3DO and 3DM files. In a few words : yes

TA3D supports shaders.

But we should think of a replacement for cards that don't support GLSL, that way it'll preserve compatibility with old hardware.
