You can indeed import obj,s into Lightwave. You have to look in your Windows system folder for files begining with LW. Look through those files and you will find a line for file format objects or similar. You have to add the formats you want to import like this: blah blah object formats .lwo;.obj;.3ds;.dxf I know you'd expect NOT to have to do this quite reasonably, but then lightwave still uses DOS for batch rendering and every file cannot have spaces but must have underscores too, which has you wondering....but anyhow, it's the worlds best modeller and is used by companies like pixar for modelling, so stick with it.
