I have never used Maya, but doesn't "Maya 6.0 > Export to Obj > Import Obj in Blend" seem an oxymoron?

Can Blend v1.0 import ".objs"? Or is this new functionality in the v2.0 beta???? I previously thought that thier was not any support for .obj's?

It seems that a few people are having questions about using 3D in Blend, so here it goes a quick overview:

3D files you can import in Blend (available in Blend 1.0 and 2.0 preview):

.OBJ (Geometry)

.MTL (Material Library that works together with .OBJ files)

.XAML (native WPF 3D objects)

You can also crete 3D planes from bitmaps in Blend:

1) Import a bitmap to the Artboard.

2) Select the bitmap.

3) From the menu, select Tools > Make Image 3D

But if you don't work with OBJ format, you can use other pacakges to convert to OBJ or XAML:
