I have been building in SL for years now and looking at a few other gaming programs, I am wondering if it is possible to import objects from modeling software such as 3D Max or Maya, or any other form?

I have been "told" that this is possible but no one can seem to tell me exactly how. Any clues?

Arbitrary meshes cannot be imported. You can use Maya, Max, and other modeling programs to make content for SL, but it has to be done in a very specific way. See http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Sculpted_Prims for more information.
