Don't give up on LightWave just yet! I think its organic modeling set is MUCH better than 3DS Max (I have a right to say that, because I own both! LOL) ... it's not easy to learn, but once you get the hang of it, it's AWESOME! The LightWave modeler does import OBJ and 3DS files without a plug-in - you only have to modify one of the ini files to have it do so. Complete instructions are given on the website link attached ... the instructions are written for LW 6.5, but it also works in 7 and 7.5.
