: How to import .obj files into Maya 2011? I'm using 123D (a great 3D suite from Autodesk) that generates .obj files. I'm trying to open them in Maya 2011, but to no avail. It's strange because

Check out Autodesk FBX.
Its almost like the "Bridge" in Adobe Suites.

It lets you interchange files from various Autodesk products.

I believe there is some loss by opening them in Maya. I think you would just have to go to File > import, to do so.
But if that doesnt work, I think your best bet is Autodesk FBX.
Plus I think its free to download. Give it a shot bud.

One thing I do know that you lose when opening them in Autodesk, is the texture. So if you have any textures applied to the .obj, then you should most definitely look into FBX, because I am pretty sure it will prevent any loss.

Hope that works man, im not the best with 3D rendering software. (But I do have autodesk. ;))
