Can you import a Maya file into Blender?

Hello everyone! This is my first post on here! I was wondering if any of you can answer my question.

Is it possible to import a maya file into blender? I saw a tutorial that shows how to do it with a max file, so I was wondering if I can simply import it like a 3ds file or if I have to save it out of maya as a obj.

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. :slight_smile:

Blender cannot import maya files. Use an common format such as .obj, .fbx, .dae.
